Dear Sir
It was really a great quiz... I tried and send the answers to the mentioned email id...
Can you please help in clearing the following doubts:
1. Is there any other control measures we can suggest against lightening rather than Lightening Arrestors?
2. Lightening arrestor is required to provide in the top of tallest structure. How we can calculate the area protected by lightening arrestor.

Dear Dipil,
I really appreciate your interest in these topics.
1. There are no other known control measures to me against lightening.
2. Protection we provide and the way we are to protect ourselves are well explained in the attachment. It is easy to understand.
3. There are different types of lightening like ribbon lightening, bead lightening or
Ball lightning all having different characteristics and degree of hazard.
