Can I play on a computer on a rainy and thunderous day?

    There must be damage, because when thunder strikes, lightning produces high-voltage electricity, which will be transmitted to the user's electrical appliances with the inverted wires, and if the electrical appliances are in use, the high-voltage electricity generated by the lightning will break down the electrical equipment.

    There are 2 types of mines that cause harm: 1 ordinary mine and 2 ground mines.

    Ordinary thunder doesn't care, it only works in the sky.

    There are two types of hazards that landed mines can do to computers.

    1 Burning directly with a high current through a conductor is very unlikely and can be ignored, one in a million.

    2. Lightning produces powerful electromagnetic waves, causing damage to the computer's hard disk, which is also very unlikely, but it cannot be ignored; If you love computers, it's a good idea to turn them off.

    TV: Watching TV during thunder, the image is very unstable, the interference is large, and the mood is always a little scared, worried about the plane crashing and people dying, is this possible?

    In fact, as long as the outdoor antenna is not connected, the TV is used indoors, and there is generally no need to be frightened, because although the thunder and lightning are powerful, before entering the room, the thunderstorm clouds have already discharged with the earth. In the short discharge process, most of its huge energy is converted into heat, light and other energy, so it will not cause harm.

    Usually when lightning strikes, when watching TV during the event, most of the interference on the screen and in the accompanying sound is the radiant energy of lightning, not the energy of induction or discharge. This kind of radiant energy generally does not damage the TV.

    However, it must be emphasized that it is dangerous to use an outdoor antenna or to watch television outdoors during a thunderstorm, and lightning protection measures must be taken if it is monitored.

    Electric light: When thunder, the voltage becomes very large instantly, which will cause the electric light to go off and cause a disaster. But there is usually no need to turn off the lights, because the voltage increases, and the work of the substation is suspended at the same time, that is, the power is out, so the lights at home will automatically turn off the power even if they are not turned off, which is safe.

    Computer: The voltage of the powerful lightning will cause the semiconductor integrated circuit to be broken down instantaneously and lose its original polarity, so the integrated circuit will be damaged, the computer is composed of a large number of integrated circuits, and if the integrated circuit is broken, the computer will be broken.

    In addition, the voltage of thunder is very high, and the instantaneous high-voltage discharge will cause the nitrogen in the air to be broken down and burned, which is to release a lot of heat, and it will also burn the computer.

    Furthermore, the type of lightning belongs to static electricity, and those who know the circuit know that static electricity is the first killer of integrated circuits.

    Thunder has the opportunity to make the wire produce an instantaneous high voltage At this time, the high voltage may break through the electrical components, and the serious one may cause **, and the slight one will also burn the fuse tube So if it is an area with more serious thunder, sometimes even the electric lights must be turned off, because it may suddenly burst on, injuring people nearby Of course, if the clouds are very high, it will have no effect Generally, those thunders that sound more scary, the clouds are low, and they must be turned off at this time.

    Yes, normal lightning will not have any effect on the computer, because the computer has a voltage regulator.

    It's best not to play, because there is a chance of being struck by lightning.

    In thunderstorm weather, playing the computer indoors will generally not be struck by lightning, and the network signal of the computer mainly relies on the network cable transmission, so it will not play the role of lightning, so you can play the computer during the thunderstorm.

    Thunder and lightning are the phenomenon of electrical discharge in thunderstorm clouds. The formation of thunderstorm clouds generally requires two conditions, sufficient water vapor and violent convective movements. In winter, due to the cold and dry air and weak solar radiation, convection is not easy to form in the air, so thunder and lightning are rare.

    However, sometimes thunderclouds are formed in winter when the temperature is high, and thunder and lightning are generated, and rain and snow occur.

    1. If the building where you are located has a lightning protection device with installation specifications (generally installed in buildings in urban areas), you can continue to use the computer when the lightning strikes, and it has nothing to do with your computer. If the building does not have good lightning protection, it is recommended that you turn off the computer, including other appliances, and put safety first.

    2. When the building is installed with the corresponding lightning protection device according to the requirements of the code (the lightning rod is to lead the lightning into the ground), it is relatively safe to use the computer, and the user can find out whether the building where the house is located has a lightning protection device certificate or lightning protection device test report to prevent accidents.

    1. Pay attention to check the grounding wire used by the computer frequently. The case of most computers is almost connected to this ground wire, the main purpose of which is to protect personal safety, in addition to the ground wire can also eliminate the effects of static electricity on the device.

    2. Keep a certain distance between the computer and the exterior walls and pillars of the building. Especially for high-rise buildings in cities, there is a lot of steel bars in the columns. This is because when a direct or side lightning strikes in the building you live in, a strong lightning current will flow into the ground along the exterior walls and pillars of the building.

    In this process, because the external wall or pillar of the building has a strong lightning current flowing, it generates electric and magnetic fields in the surrounding space, and if the computer is too close to the external wall or column, the integrated circuit module in the computer may be damaged.

    3. Try not to surf the Internet during thunderstorms, because lightning strikes may be introduced through the power cord, burning out the modem, and even burning out the computer's network card, motherboard and other devices.

    4. Even if lightning is not directly introduced, under normal circumstances, the network card, modem, and computer power supply are also easy to be damaged in thunderstorms, because the equipment is directly connected to a long line, similar to a radio antenna, which is more sensitive to lightning space electromagnetic field induction, and the integrated circuit module is easy to be damaged and damaged under the instantaneous induction high voltage (failure occurs in the following week).

    5. When a thunderstorm comes, unplug all kinds of lines connected to the computer (including power cables, network cables, ** cables, etc.) as much as possible. Although you may not have a professional lightning protection facility installed in your home, as long as you start with the above small things, you can maximize the security of your computer and reduce the loss caused by lightning.

Why does it rain.

As rivers, rivers, lakes, and seas are exposed to the sun, water becomes water vapor. The water vapor rises and turns into small droplets, and finally into clouds. The small water droplets or Xiaoice crystals that make up the cloud are supported by the air flow below, and the rising air flow is constantly transporting the water vapor below the cloud to the cloud. >>>More
