Answer Posted / shivdutt tyagi

Lightning is a Ntural phenomenon. when thudercloudformed,
charge separation takes place. a step leader move forward
toward the ground if the suffiecient elctrical present
which is highher the breakdown value normal requred. and
leader move as a branch in path. when it aproaches the
ground level the grounded object having suficient field
meet to leader and charge back flow to the cloud and
neutralize there and a hug ecurrent flow called return
stroke. this explin lightning phenomenon
