GI Earthing Vs Copper EarthingAs per IS 3043, the resistance of Plate electrode to earth (R) = (r/A) X under root(P/A).Where r = Resistivity of Soil Ohm-meter.A=Area of Earthing Plate m3.The resistance of Pipe electrode to earth (R) = (100r/2πL) X lo

Why Lightning not affect the PlanesIt is estimated that on average, each airplane commercial fleet is struck lightly by lightning more than once each year. In fact, airplane mostly trigger lightning when flying through a heavily charged region of a
