Lightning is caused by the discharge of electrical charges in the rain bearing clouds. Cloudscarring charges are separated by a thin gap of air between them. When the quantity of chargeparticles in the clouds become very high the air gap between them loses its insulation and thecharges tend to flow through the air. This phenomenon is known as electric discharge. 3a Which of the following statements are correct?Statement I - Avoid using mobile phones if you are outside the house.Statement ll - lightning strike could destroy life and property.Statement lll - Electrical appliances like computers and TVs should be unplugged.i. l onlyii. l and lliii. ll and llliv. l, ll and lll
