When
Lightning strikes
If you are in an automobile when lightning strikes,you are generally
safe. This is due to the Farrady effect in which the electricity
disapates over the area of the car. There would be a potential
difference(Pd or V(volts)) between different points across the area of
say the roof for example. This effect causes circles of electricity over
the 'cage' of the car.
