Lightning Conductors
8th Class Science : Lightning conductors are used to protecting buildings from the damaging effects of lightning. Lightning strikes building or other objects
Lightning Strikes building or other objects because the materials in then provide an easier path to the ground than air.
A lighting Conductor runs from the top to the bottom, along the outer wall of the structure to be protected. The lower end of the lightning conductor is linked to a metal plate which is underlying deep under the ground.
If lightning strikes, the building is protected as the lightning conductor provides an easy path of the charge to pass through to the ground.
Science NCERT solutions Class 8 designed by experts are available on our website.
Safety Measures Against Lightning Strikes
Lightning usually strikes tall building and trees. Here are some safety measures you can take if you are caught in a thunderstorm.
  • Do not take shelter under a tree. Not only are you in danger of being struck by lightning, but if the tree gets struck by lightning, it could catch fire and cause great harm to you.
  • Try to take shelter indoors.
  • You can even take shelter inside a car or a bigger vehicle such as a truck.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
