a) C=1.1*10^{-8}F
b) Q=17.6C
c) We have that for conduction to occur via air .Air particles have to ionize and The electrons follow through them from the clouds to the ground.This effect causes Lighting
From the question we are told
Earth and a cloud layer 800.0 m above the Earth
If the cloud layer has an area of 1.00 106 m²
An electric field strength of 2.0 x 106 N/C causes the air to conduct charge (lightning)
a)
Generally the equation for Capacitance is mathematically given as
[tex]C=\frac{eA}{d}\\\\Therefore\\\\C=\frac{8.85*10^{-12}{1.0*10^6}}{800}\\\\C=1.1*10^{-8}F[/tex]
b)
Generally the equation for Capacitance of capacitor referring to pd is mathematically given as
[tex]C=\frac{Q}{dV}\\\\Where\\\\Q=CEd\\\\Q=1.1*10^{-8}*(2.0*10^6)(800)\\\\Q=17.6C[/tex]
c)
We have that for conduction to occur via air .Air particles have to ionize and The electrons follow through them from the clouds to the ground.This effect causes Lighting
