If a building is constructed with good conducting materials, lightning would likely be attracted to it but would not strike or damage it in a harmful way. The building’s conductive material would naturally conduct the lightning’s electrical charge to the ground, essentially acting as its own lightning conductor. Therefore, a separate lightning conductor would not be necessary in such a case.
Elaboration:
Conductivity and Lightning:
Good conductors, like metals (copper, aluminum, etc.), readily allow the flow of electrical current. Lightning, being a large discharge of electricity, would naturally flow through a building made of such material.
Why No Damage:
Instead of being struck and potentially damaged, the lightning’s charge would be quickly and safely conducted to the earth through the building’s conductive structure.
No Need for Separate Lightning Rod:
Since the building itself acts as a lightning conductor, there is no need for an additional lightning rod or similar device.
