A flash of lightning carries 10 C of charge which flows for 0.01 s. What is the current? If the voltage is 10 MV, what is the energy?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Here

Charge, Q = 10C

Voltage = 10 MV = 10 x 10⁶V

Energy of the charge particle is given by

E = Q V

= 10 x 10 x 10⁶

=10⁸ J
