A lightning arrester must have the following property.(a) Discontinuity(b) Poor conductivity(c) Needle end(d) Low melting pointI had been asked this question at a job interview.I need to ask this question from Basic Properties of Electric Charge topic in section Charges and Fields of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct choice is (c) NEEDLE END

Explanation: Needle end can arrest the LIGHTNING easily. Besides, the device must provide a CONTINUOUS path to electricity so that current passes to ground. It must have a high melting point else it will meltdown due to the HEAT generated during carrying lightning current.
