Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
As with the charge in the clouds, the lightning conductor constantly develops the opposing charges. This assertion is correct. Because, as a cloud approaches a building, a conductive channel is constructed between the statically charged cloud and the lightning rod, according to the lightning dissipation theory. On the lightning rod, the charge produced by the cloud is the polar opposite of that on the cloud. According to this theory, static charges slowly move to the ground along this channel, lowering the explosive discharge.
