Turbulent motions in thunderstorms cause charge separations that result in very

Turbulent motions in thunderstorms cause charge separations that result in very large potential differences between the clouds and the ground. when lightning occurs, a large amount of charge is transferred between the cloud and the ground. if 46.7 c of charge are transferred in a specific lightning strike and the potential difference is ∆v = 10.65 mv, how much energy is released in this lightning strike?

E = 4.9735 × 10⁸ J

Explanation:

Given:

Charge transferred, q = 46.7 C

Potential difference, ΔV = 10.65 MV = 10.65 × 10⁶ V

Now, the relation between the energy (E) , charge (q) and the potential difference is given as:

E = qΔV

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

E = 46.7 × 10.65 × 10⁶ V

or

E = 4.9735 × 10⁸ J

Hence, the energy released is 4.9735 × 10⁸ J
