Chapter 21: Q4P (page 625)

In the return stroke of a typical lightning bolt, a current of 2.5脳104Aexists for20渭s. How much charge is transferred in this event?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

  1. The charge transferred in this event is 0.50 C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Current of the lightning bolt,I=2.5脳104A
  2. Time of the current flow,t=20渭s
02

Understanding the concept of current flow

The current of a conductor can be defined as the stream of charged particles within a conductor flowing for a given time. For a charge q passing through the cross-section of the conductor in time t, the current I is given as-

I=qt路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路路1

03

Calculation of the charge transferred in the event

The charge transferred by the lightning bolt can be calculated using the given data in equation (1) as follows:

q=I脳t=2.5脳104A20脳10-6s=50脳10-2As=0.50C

Hence, the value of the charge transferred in the event is 0.50 C .

Question: (a) Explain what happens to the balls of Problem 42 if one of them is discharged (loses its charge qto, say, the ground). (b) Find the new equilibrium separation x, using the given values of Land mand the computed value of |q|.

In Fig. 21-24, three identical conducting spheres initially have the following charges: sphere A,4Q ; sphere B,鈭�6Q ; and sphere C,0 . Spheres Aand Bare fixed in place, with a center-to-center separation that is much larger than the spheres. Two experiments are conducted. In experiment 1, sphere Cis touched to sphere Aand then (separately) to sphere B, and then it is removed. In experiment 2, starting with the same initial states, the procedure is reversed: Sphere Cis touched to sphere Band then (separately) to sphere A, and then it is removed. What is the ratio of the electrostatic force between Aand Bat the end of experiment 2 to that at the end of experiment 1?
