Lightning according to faraday's law

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Faraday's law explains the phenomenon of lightning as a result of air conducting current within Earth's magnetic field, leading to violent air movement. The discussion highlights the ionization of air particles during a lightning strike, which facilitates the visible lightning bolt. Additionally, the concept of utilizing this principle in practical applications, such as a magnetoaerodynamic engine, is introduced.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
  • Knowledge of ionization processes in gases
  • Familiarity with Earth's magnetic field and its effects
  • Basic principles of magnetoaerodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the applications of Faraday's law in modern technology
  • Explore the principles of magnetoaerodynamic engines
  • Study the ionization process in atmospheric physics
  • Investigate the relationship between lightning and electromagnetic fields
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, electrical engineers, atmospheric scientists, and anyone interested in the practical applications of electromagnetic principles in natural phenomena.

Faraday's law applied to lightning, " When lightning occurs air conducts current which happens in Earth's magnetic field will it produce motion in air".

not sure why you think the Earth's magnetic has a direct infulence ?

But regardless the air moves violently ... you have heard thunder ? :)

if air moves violently, this principle can be used in practical..as "magnetoaerodynamic engine"
