Young & Freedman Calc 14th EditionCh 21: Electric Charge and Electric FieldProblema 2Capitolo 21, Problema 2
Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maximum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about C/s; this lasts for ms or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? How many electrons flow during this time?
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
First, identify the given values in the problem: the maximum rate of charge flow (current) is 20,000 C/s, and the time duration is 100 ms. Convert the time from milliseconds to seconds by dividing by 1000, so 100 ms = 0.1 s.
To find the total charge that flows, use the formula for charge flow: \( Q = I \times t \), where \( Q \) is the charge in coulombs, \( I \) is the current in amperes (C/s), and \( t \) is the time in seconds. Substitute the given values into the formula.
Calculate the total charge \( Q \) by multiplying the current (20,000 C/s) by the time (0.1 s). This will give you the total charge in coulombs that flows between the ground and the cloud.
Next, to find the number of electrons, use the relationship between charge and electrons: \( Q = n \times e \), where \( n \) is the number of electrons and \( e \) is the elementary charge (approximately \( 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \) C). Rearrange the formula to solve for \( n \): \( n = \frac{Q}{e} \).
Substitute the total charge \( Q \) calculated in the previous step and the value of the elementary charge \( e \) into the formula to find the number of electrons that flow during this time.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Electric Charge
Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. It is measured in coulombs (C), and electrons carry a negative charge. Understanding charge flow is crucial for calculating the total charge transferred during lightning.

Electric Charge
Current and Charge Flow
Current is the rate of flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A), where 1 A equals 1 C/s. In the context of lightning, the current is given as 20,000 C/s, indicating the rapid movement of charge. To find the total charge transferred, multiply the current by the duration of the flow.

Electron Charge
The charge of a single electron is approximately -1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs. To determine the number of electrons transferred during lightning, divide the total charge by the charge of one electron. This calculation helps quantify the microscopic flow of electrons in the macroscopic event of lightning.
