A picnic was arranged by school for the students of XII class. After some time it was raining heavily accompanied by thundering lightening. The Student got afraid. Some students went inside the room. Two students asked for the key of the car and sat inside the car folding their legs on the seat. The other students called them to come out but they refused. They knew that charge inside the conducting shell is zero as told by the teacher and told others not to stand near the electric pole when it is lightning.

What value was displayed by these students? Write any two safety measures to protect from lightning.

The students in side the car are more intelligent. If a car is struck by lightning the metal body will conduct the electricity around them not through them. If they are not in contact with the metal of the car they will be safe from lighning.

Lightning safety:
  1. Stay in side house, possibly with lighting rod and refrain yourself from using any electrical or metal object
  2. Don't stay under a tree or stand alone small structures.

other students are caring and helpful.

When lightining occurs:

1) one should stay inside the house and away frm electrical appliances,plumbing and concrete wall with metal rods on them.

2) if you are helpless or alone then just drop your knees and put your hands on the knees but the two foot should not touch each other.
