Do Cars Have Lightning Protection Function?
1 Answers
Cars do not have lightning protection function. Here are the relevant details: 1. Metal Shell: The car's outer shell is a large metal enclosure, forming an equipotential body, so people inside the car do not need to worry about being struck by lightning. The vehicle itself is a conductor that easily attracts lightning. If lightning strikes the vehicle, walking near it may expose you to the current conducted through the ground. 2. Precautions: When a car is struck by lightning, the instantaneous high voltage may also damage the electronic components inside the car, causing the electronic devices to malfunction. Additionally, never rashly exit the car to inspect the vehicle's condition, as it is much more dangerous outside the car than inside.
