Can lightning break diamond..?
I guess so. It is the large current that flows through an object that breaks is. So when you have got an insulator, no current will flow and no damage will be created.Thallium said:Not even because of the force of the lightning? Can only materials that are good conductors of electricity break by lightning then?
Then you should just copy this linkThallium said:It did not work.. The page was babyblue.. Bbayblue lightning? :)
Yes, lightning can break a diamond. Diamonds are not indestructible, despite their reputation for being the hardest natural substance on Earth. Diamonds can shatter or chip when subjected to extreme force or pressure, such as a lightning strike.
When a bolt of lightning strikes the ground, it releases a tremendous amount of energy in a short amount of time. This energy can cause the diamond to heat up and expand rapidly, creating stress and pressure within the diamond. This pressure can cause the diamond to crack or shatter.
No, it is not common for diamonds to be damaged by lightning. Lightning strikes are relatively rare, and most diamonds are not exposed to them. Additionally, diamonds are often found deep within the Earth's surface, where they are not likely to be struck by lightning.
No, diamonds cannot protect against lightning strikes. While diamonds are good conductors of heat, they are not good conductors of electricity. This means that diamonds do not provide any protection against lightning strikes and can still be damaged by them.
Yes, there have been some documented cases of diamonds being damaged by lightning strikes. In 2017, a woman in South Africa reported that her diamond engagement ring was shattered after being struck by lightning. However, these cases are rare and do not happen often.
