1. In a lightning strike lasting 45 ms, a total charge of 350 C is transferred...
3 In a lightning strike there is an average current of 30 kA, which lasts for 2000 us. Calculate the charge which is transferred in this process.
A lightning strike can transfer as much as 1020 electrons from the cloud to the ground. If the strike lasts 2ms, what is the average electric current in the lightning
In a typical lightning strike, 2.5 C flows from cloud to ground in 0.20 ms.What is the current during the strike?
5. During a random lightning strike from a cloud to the ground, a current of 25,000 A lasts for 40 (1 point) us. How much charge is transferred from the cloud to earth during that strike? 02.0 C 01.6 C 01.0 C 02.5 C 6. The graphs show the temperature dependence of resistance for two materials. How do the (1 point) materials compare? Material A Material B OMaterial A is a typical conductor, whereas material B is a typical insulator...
One summer afternoon in Colorado, a thunderstorm rages across the plains. As a lightning scien- tist, you’ve discovered that it takes approximately 0.20 ms for electrons to flow from the bottom of the thunderstorm cloud to the ground. You’ve determined that roughly 2.6 Coulombs of charge are transferred in that time. Based on your data, what is the current of a typical lightning strike? If this current flowed through your body, would it be fatal? (Refer to the class notes...
The amoung of charge transferred to Earth by a strong lightning bolt is 159.53 C. Calculate the number of electrons transfered to Earth by the lightning.
Two storm clouds combine, one with a +1.5 C of charge and the other with −3.5 C of charge. After combining, a lightning strike transfers the charge from the cloud to the ground. How much charge is transferred to the ground and are these protons or electrons?
Chapter 20, Problem 002 An especially violent lightning bolt has an average current of 2.86 x 103 A lasting 0.139 s. How much charge is delivered to the ground by the lightning bolt? Number L the tolerance is +/-2% Click if you would like to Show Work for this question: Open Show. Work Units
During a thunderstorm, a lightning "bolt" carries current between a cloud and the ground below. If a particular bolt carries a total charge of 15 C in 1.5 ms, what is the magnitude of the current? A How many electrons are involved in this process? electrons
(1) A large lightning bolt had a 20,500 A current and moved 32.5 C of charge. What was its duration (in ms)? (2) A power transmission line is hung from metal towers with glass insulators having a resistance of 2.55 ✕ 109 Ω. What current (in mA) flows through the insulator if the voltage is 280 kV? (Some high-voltage lines are DC.)
