HYPOTHESIS: Why do buildings have lightning rods? SIMULATION Click here: ( https://interactives.ck12.org/simulations/physics/lightning-rod/app/ )In this simulation, you will explore this question. Explore the simulation by changing the Cloud Height, Charge Separation, Overlay, and Lightning Rod and see what happens. Default: Cloud Height=5 km, Overlay=None, Charge Separation=Medium, and Lightning Road = Off. Leaving the default settings, at what Cloud Height is the building safe? With what settings will the building be safe without a lightning rod? What is the purpose of a lightning rod?
