8. Question
Which of the following statements regarding Lightening are incorrect?
1. Lightning is a very rapid and massive discharge of electricity in the atmosphere. Some of it is directed towards the Earth.
2. It is a result of the difference in electrical charge between the top and bottom of a cloud.CorrectAns;- b) Only 2
Explanation;-
• Both the statements are correct about Lightening but question asked to choose incorrect statement.
• Occurrences of lightning are not tracked in India, and there is simply not enough data for scientists to work with. Often, safety measures and precautions against lightning strikes do not receive as much publicity as other natural disasters such as earthquakes.About Lightening
• Lightning is a very rapid and massive discharge of electricity in the atmosphere. Some of it is directed towards the Earth.
• It is a result of the difference in electrical charge between the top and bottom of a cloud.
• The lightning-generating clouds are typically about 10-12 km in height, with their base about 1-2 km from the Earth’s surface. The temperatures at the top range from -35°C to -45°C.About Process of Lightening
• As water vapour moves upwards in the cloud, it condenses into water due to decreasing temperatures.
• A huge amount of heat is generated in the process, pushing the water molecules further up. As they move to temperatures below zero, droplets change into small ice crystals.
• As they continue upwards, they gather mass, until they become so heavy that they start descending. It leads to a system where smaller ice crystals move upwards while larger ones come down.
• The resulting collisions trigger release of electrons, in a process very similar to the generation of electric sparks. The moving free electrons cause more collisions and more electrons; a chain reaction is formed.
• The process results in a situation in which the top layer of the cloud gets positively charged while the middle layer is negatively charged.
• The electrical potential difference between the two layers is huge, of the order of billions of volts. In little time, a huge current, of the order of lakhs to millions of amperes, starts to flow between the layers.
• It produces heat, leading to the heating of the air column between the two layers of cloud. It is because of this heat that the air column looks red during lightning.
• The heated air column expands and produces shock waves that result in thunder sounds.
