Question

In right condition An electric charge gathers in clouds. When the electric charge appears in the sky, electric fields start to appear around the sky and if the electric fields get the charge of Eb = 3 * 10^6 N/C the air stops to be dielectric and an charge goes from the sky down to earth, etc. A lighting appears.

We suppose the thunder sky is in shape like a ball with radius R = 1 km, find out how much charge gathers in the sky be fore the lightning goes out of it, the sky is dielectric and the charge is even in it.

Explanation / Answer

flux through the ball of R = 1km = surface_area * Eb = (4)*3.14*1000*1000*(3*10^(6) ) = 37.68 × 10^(12) we know that flux = q/epsilon q = epsilon * flux = 8.85 * 10^(-12) *37.68 × 10-12 C = 333.468 C
