Question:
I did not understand why extra electrons through conductors reach the ground.
Doesn't the groung get charged or what charge does it have that it attracts lightning?
Answer:
This is because of difference in charge density between the charged body and charged earth. The charge density is always more in the body than in the earth and hence charges always flow from the body to the earth.
