Question

The current in a lightning bolt is 2.6 x 105

A.
How much charge passes through a cross-
sectional area of the lightning bolt in 4.1 s?
Answer in units of C.

Answer 1

The right solution is "
`10.66* 10^5 \ C`". A further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Current,

I =
`2.6* 10^5`

Time,

t = 4.1 s

As we know,

⇒
`Q=I* t`

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒
`=2.6* 10^5* 4.1`

⇒
`=1,066,000 \ C`

⇒
`=10.66* 10^5 \ C`
