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
