Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLightning:-
The visible discharge of electricity occurs when a region of a cloud acquires an excess electrical charge (either positive or negative) that is sufficient to break down the resistance of air.
Current is a measure of the flow of electric charge over time.
It is defined as
where q = Charge
t = Time
I = Current
Calculation:
Given:
q = 30 C
t = 10 msec
I = 3 × 103 A
I = 3 kA.
