ABSTRACT:
It is common notion that electric gadgets like; computer, laptop and mobile phone could be a potential device for conducting lightning. It is also believed the electricity travelling through the radio waves associated with the devices and deliver a shock to the person using them. The present article is a review of different stages of cloud-to-ground lightning discharge and also explore the possibility of a computer, laptop and mobile phone providing a lightning path through the user to the ground.
