  • Natural Conduction: Examples & How It Works
    Lightning is a natural example of conduction. When lightning strikes, it creates a superheated channel of air called a plasma channel. The plasma channel is a good conductor of electricity, so it allows the electricity from the lightning bolt to travel through it.

    The human body is also a natural conductor of electricity. This is why it is possible to get an electrical shock if you touch a live wire. The electricity travels through the water in your body, which is a good conductor of electricity.

    Metal is a very good conductor of electricity. This is why metal is often used to make electrical wires and other electrical devices.

    Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it can still conduct electricity if it contains impurities. This is why it is important to avoid using electrical devices near water.
