Cardiac Effects of Lightning Strikes
Author(s): Theodoros Christophides , Sarosh Khan , Mahmood Ahmad , et al Added: 3 years ago
Lightning strikes between clouds and ground objects occur when the difference in electrical potential between the two is greater than 30,000 Volts, as thus they are able to exceed the atmospheric electrical resistance, generating currents that vary from 30,000 to 100,000 Amperes, and lasting between 0.1–0.001 seconds. As per data from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS)-equipped satellite… View more
