    Lightning can travel in either direction it just depends on the circumstances

    @rocket7986 5 лет назад +50

    If a proton, or positive charge, where to leave the atom in which it was situated, we would have a nuclear reaction and the associated blast. Only electrons can move without a great deal of energy input. Lightning is when the electrons from the cloud make the jump from either cloud to ground, ground to cloud, or cloud to cloud. It is to offset charge imbalances. There is also no leaders. The transfer of electrons is instantaneous, travelling at very close to the speed of light. If protons where transferred, we would have a small atomic blast.

    thanks for the video, but i have a question.. how can we consider lightning to be moving from the ground upward?? i thought electricity is a flow of electrons and in that case they should be moving from negative to positive ..from the bottoms of the clouds that are negatively charged to the ground just to get rid if the extra electrons>> please correct me cus i really wanna understand this

    Since when positive electric load bearers (protons) are able to leave the mass??!!!

  • @NeoNarratives10
    @NeoNarratives10 7 лет назад +26

    But Positive charge particles (Protons) are heavier than Electrons [9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms is mass of electron and 1.6726219 × 10-27 kilograms is mass of proton]. So the air should lift up the lighter one up [Proton] and hence electrons should fall down. Can somebody clarify?

    • @waydejaynes1291
      @waydejaynes1291 6 лет назад +14

      Balram Jat electricity is considered the flow of ELECTRONS, which are negatively charged so therefore basing the idea of "electricity" it would travel from the ground upwards. My electrical teacher always told me you never understand electricity you just learn to accept it.

    • @strangelight159
      @strangelight159 6 лет назад +8

      Wayde Jaynes
      Shouldn't the electron travel downwards,from negative to positive?
      Because protons can't move but electrons(which are negative) move.
      This video is not clear.

    At 0:16 when the positive and negative charge being to magnetize it is like your hands with that very faint feeling, and you can even create lightning doing so, I have done it myself and have even popped a basketball attempting to clap at it with my hands, but I didn't clap my hands all the way, I had the mindset of thunderclapping the ball like it were a lightning strike, I went to clap my hands swung my arms wide and didn't close my hands stopped them before they touched and the ball popped

    i thought positive charges dont move??

    • @leoooo3242
      @leoooo3242 5 лет назад

      Lucidity the real reason is because charge forms in the clouds, there’s a high potential difference in the clouds, however there’s a low potential difference on earth. so to balance the charges, a bolt of energy(charge) shoots down below from a high to low potential difference. this makes the cloud stable.

    At least we know Earth is flat and stationary and only the wind moves above our grounding station.
    It would be freaky to think this could be happening in outer space on a spinning ball in an atmosphere surrounded by a vacuum. Good thing lightning has something to.... errr... "earth" against up there.
