ELECTRICAL PHENOMENA IN PHYSICS
Keywords:
Electricity, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges, lightning, astraphobia.Abstract
Lightning and human-made electric lights are some of the most dramatic effects of electricity. Lightning is a natural phenomenon formed by electrostatic discharges through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions, either both in the atmosphere or one in the atmosphere and one on the ground, temporarily neutralizing these in a near-instantaneous release of an average of between 200 megajoules and 7 gigajoules of energy, depending on the type.
