What is the main difference between naturally occurring electricity and human-harnessed electricity?

Naturally occurring electricity is only visible during thunderstorms, while human-harnessed electricity is visible in power outlets.

Naturally occurring electricity is only found in nature, while human-harnessed electricity is created in laboratories.

Naturally occurring electricity is weaker than human-harnessed electricity due to its natural origin.

Naturally occurring electricity is generated by natural phenomena like lightning, while human-harnessed electricity is produced using technology like solar panels. (correct)

How does solar energy contribute to the production of human-harnessed electricity?

Solar energy is used to create artificial lightning, which is then harnessed for human use.

Solar energy powers natural occurrences of electricity, which can be harnessed by humans.

Solar panels absorb natural lightning and convert it into usable electricity for humans.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can then be used as human-harnessed electricity. (correct)

What role do solar panels play in the context of obtaining information about naturally occurring and human-harnessed electricity?

Solar panels serve as a technology example for obtaining human-harnessed electricity and understanding its difference from naturally occurring electricity. (correct)

Solar panels are primarily used to generate naturally occurring electricity for scientific observation.

Solar panels are solely used to study naturally occurring electricity and have no relevance to human-harnessed electricity.

Solar panels are only used for educational purposes and do not contribute to the understanding of either type of electricity.

What distinguishes naturally occurring lightning from the electricity generated by solar panels?
