In lightning storms, the potential difference between
Chapter 24, Problem 24.80(choose chapter or problem)
In lightning storms, the potential difference between theEarth and the bottom of the thunderclouds can be as highas 35,000,000 V. The bottoms of thunderclouds are typically1500 m above the Earth, and may have an area of120 km2. Modeling the Earth-cloud system as a hugecapacitor, calculate (a) the capacitance of the Earth-cloudsystem, (b) the charge stored in the capacitor, and (c) theenergy stored in the capacitor.
