 Why do we choose copper to make Lightning Arrester?

We use copper wire to convery electricity. Lightning rods must use highly conductive metals that carry electrical current better than surrounding objects such as buildings or trees. Then you understand copper is a good choice.

How does a Lightning Arrester work?

When electrical charges build up in the atmosphere, they eventually need a path through which to discharge; many times lightning will strike tall objects with destructive results. A lightning rod intercepts the electrical charge that occurs just before a lightning strike, channelling it safely to the ground. To be most effective, the metal rod should be situated high enough so that electrical charges from the atmosphere will have a better chance of passing through it instead of objects or people. If the electrical charge is allowed to build up substantially, it will eventually discharge through whatever object is nearest.
By itself, a lightning rod will not prevent or divert lightning strikes; to be effective, it needs a direct and substantial electrical connection to the ground with a conductor. A heavy-gauge metal wire, connected to the lightning rod and the earth carries the electrical charge away from the rod; the ground, being electrically neutral, safely absorbs excess charges, minimizing or eliminating lightning damage.
