Lightning Strikes. During lightning strikes from a cloud to the
ground, currents as high as 25,000 A can occur and last for about 40 ms.
How much charge is transferred from the cloud to the earth during such a
strike?
The charge transferred from the cloud to the earth during a lightning strike is

Could an accelerator be built in which all the forces on the particles, for steering and for increasing speed, are magnetic forces? Why or why not?
(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.
(a) What is the potential difference in the circuit of Fig. P25.62? (b) What is the terminal voltage of the battery? (c) A battery with emf and internal resistance is inserted in the circuit at d, with its negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the battery. What is the difference of potential between the terminals of the battery now?
You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 鈩� and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery
A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current ofthrough the body atfor a very short time, usuallyabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?
