Lightning conductors are fixed at the top of the buildings to protect the buildings from lightningLightningLightning is caused due to the heavy electric discharge from the clouds to the earth. If lightning is not controlled, it can cause heavy damage to life and property. Hence, protective measures are of utmost importance during lightning strikes.Lightning RodsTall buildings are provided with lightning rods. A lightning rod is a metal rod that is erected at the top of a building. It is connected to a thick metallic plate, made of a good conducting material like copper and buried under the earth, through a thick copper wire. If lightning is likely to strike the building, it is attracted by the lightning rod, and the electrical discharge is transferred through the wire to the ground. Thus, it keepsthe building safe

it consists of a long metal rod fixed with a side wall of th building .when lightning conductor quickly absorb the charges ,the long metal gives them an easy path to flow down to earth and the coppe plate helps in a quick distribution of charge
