k Case Study Based Questions

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.
The weather department has predicted that a thunderstorm likely to occur on a certain day. Suppose we
have to go out on that day. During thunderstorms, which are accompanied with lightning, electric discharge
from the clouds can travel through the metallic rod of the umbrella. This may give an electric shock to the
person who is carrying it. So we should not carry an umbrella in a thunderstorm, as it is not safe to carry an
umbrella during lightning.
16. Can lightning damage the Earth?
17. Does the lightning conductor carry charges to the ground?
18. Lightning conductor is fitted along the length of the tall building—Is statement true?
19. Is it preferred to stay indoors during thunderstorm?
20. A thunder is hard a little latter after lightning strike—justify the statement.
