Question:

In typical lightning, there is 109 J energy transfer across the potential difference of 5 × 107 V during a time interval of 0.2 s. What is the total amount of charge transferred between cloud and ground?

Options:

8 C

15 C

20 C

28 C

Correct Answer:

20 C

Explanation:

U = q x V

Q = U/V

Q = \(\frac{10^{9}}{5 * 10^{7}}\) = 20 C
