A golfer and her caddy see lightning nearby. the golfer is about to take his shot with a metal club, while her caddy is holding a plastic handled umbrella. which person is at greater risk? Explain why?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The golfer is at greater risk.

Explanation:

The golfer is holding a metal club. Metal is a good conductor for electricity (lightning), meaning electrons can pass through easily. Her caddy is at lesser risk because she is holding a plastic handled umbrella. Plastic is an insulator, which does not easily allow the movement of electrons to pass.
