Capacitance of a Thundercloud The charge center of a thundercloud,drifting 3.0 km above the earth's surface, contains 20 C ofnegative charge. Assuming the charge center has a radius of 1.0 km,and modeling the charge center and the earth's surface as parallelplates, calculate:
(a) The capacitance of the system;
(b) The potential difference between charge center andground;
(c) The average strength of the electric field between cloud andground;
(d) The electrical energy stored in the system.

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 20,000 C/s; ow much charge flows between the ground and the cloud at this time?

An airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2000 m. If there is a charge concentration of +40C at height 3000 m within the cloud and -40 C at height 1000 m, what is the magnitude of the electric field E at the aircraft?
