PROCESS CAUSED LIGHTNING
LIGHTNING
Lightning or thunder is a natural phenomenon which usually occurs during the rainy season, which begins with a flash of light. A moment later the sound will be called with thunder rumbling or gluduk in Javanese. Often seen the light first and then came the sound of it is because of the time difference caused by the difference in appearance between the speed of sound with the speed of light.
For easier understanding, we use the analogy of a large capacitor, which is where the first slab of the cloud, these slabs can be negative or positive and the two plates of the earth that have a nature that is neutral. As we already know, the capacitor is a negative element in electrical connection that can store power for a moment or can be called energy storage. As well as lightning, where there is a cloud of negatively and positively charged. The process of the charge in the cloud, because the cloud runs on a regular basis,and during his travels he will be in touch with other clouds gathering resulting in a negative charge on one side, either above or below. While the positive charge on the other gather. If the potential difference between the cloud and the earth, will result in removal of negative charge or called electrons. In the discharge process, the air is a medium that will pass electrons. If at the time the electron charge can penetrate the insulation of air is making the sound of explosions or thunder. Lightning is more common in the rainy season was caused because in the rainy season, the air contains more moisture is high, resulting in power down insulation and air flow more easily through.
