What is the power of a 29.1 MV lightning bolt that carries an electric current of 12.8 kA? PLEASE ANSWER IN W.
power = voltage * Current
Power = VI
in the above problem
Voltage = 29.1 MV = 29.1*10^6 V
current = 12.8 kA = 12.8*10^3 A
P = 29.1*10^6*12.8*10^3
= 3.725*10^11 W

3. (Biot-Savart for currents) A lightning bolt carries current I straight down toward the ground. You are standing a distance d away from the impact point along the +y axis. If the bolt originates at a height z h and terminates on the ground at z 0, (a) find a formula for the magnitude of the magnetic field you experience, and give its direction. [ Hint: this is almost the same as a derivation we did in class.] (b) Simplify...

13. Recall from our last unit that air "breaks down" and starts conducting - resulting either in a little spark, or in lightning - when the electic field in the air reaches about 3 MV/m. Let's examine the physies of a rather modest lightning bolt between the ground and a storm- clund, that is 605 m (1985 H) up in the air. (i) Given the cland height and the lightning's what is the approximate potential difference this lightning ? electric...
