In a typical lightning strike, 2.5 C flows from cloud to ground in 0.20 ms.What is...
Homework Answers
The equation you need to solve this problem is:
\(i=\frac{Q}{t}\)
\(i=\frac{2.5 \mathrm{C}}{(0.0002 \mathrm{~seconds})}=12500 \mathrm{Amps}\)
sig.figures : \(i=13000\) Amps
Note: If you are using an online homework submission system you may need to account for significant figures. Since there are only 2 significant digits, you may need to round your final answer to 13,000 Amps

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...
