Also, could you explain me why as a plate accumulates charge,it becomesharder and harder to put more charges on it. Thanks for your help. 1.Lightning occurs because electrons in the clouds areattracted to the electrons in the ground (false) Could you explainme why. 2.During a lightning storm would it be safer to be inside abox made of copper or a box made of wood? 3.In a capacitor, one side accumulates charge because thebattery is putting charges on it.Explain how the other platebecomes charged.
