A lightning bolt has a current of 40,000 A and lasts for 50 x 10-6 seconds (50 μs). How much charge (in Coulombs) has flowed in this bolt?
A cloud can discharge as much as 20 coulombs in a lightning bolt. If the bolt lasts only 0.1 msec, how many amps is that?
In a lightning bolt, a large amount of charge flows during a time of 2.1 10-3 s. Assume that the bolt can be treated as a long, straight line of current. At a perpendicular distance of 30 m from the bolt, a magnetic field of 7.8 10-5 T is measured. How much charge has flowed during the lightning bolt? Ignore the earth's magnetic field.
14. (10 pts) Lightning (a flow of electrons between the ground and a thundercloud) lasts about 120us. The rate of charge flow in a typical lightning bolt is about 25,000 coulombs per second. A) How much total charge flows between the ground and the cloud during a typical lightning bolt? B) How many electrons flow during this time? 15. (10 pts) 4 charges are placed at the corners of a square of side 1 m. What is the electric field...

A certain lightning bolt moves 120C of charge. How many electrons participate in this current knowing that the electronic charge is 1.60 x 10^-19C.
You are standing at x=8.0km and your assistant is standing at x=5.0km. Lightning bolt 1 strikes at x=0km and lightning bolt 2 strikes at x=12.0km. You see the flash from bolt 2 at t=12μs and the flash from bolt 1 at t=60μs. According to your assistant, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? You are standing at z 8.0km and your assistant is standing at5.0km. Lightning bolt 1 strikes at 0 km and lightning bolt 2 strikes at T 12.0km. You see...
