The potential difference between a cloud and the Earth is 107 V. Calculate the amount of energy dissipated when the charge of 100 C is transferred from the cloud to the ground due to lightning bolt.

Question

The potential difference between a cloud and the Earth is 107 V. Calculate the amount of energy dissipated when the charge of 100 C is transferred from the cloud to the ground due to lightning bolt. (A) zero (B) 109 J (C) 60 J (D) 107 J

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Here, q=100 C Potential difference between the cloud and the Earth, V=107 V Energy dissipated, W=q V=100 C × 107 V =109 J

Q. The potential difference between a cloud and the Earth is $1 0^{7} V$ . Calculate the amount of energy dissipated when the charge of $100 C$ is transferred from the cloud to the ground due to lightning bolt.

zero

$1 0^{9} J$

$60 J$

$1 0^{7} J$

Here, $q = 100 C$
Potential difference between the cloud and the Earth,
$V = 1 0^{7} V$
Energy dissipated, $W = q V = 100 C \times 1 0^{7} V = 1 0^{9} J$

zero

109J

60J

107J

Here, q=100C Potential difference between the cloud and the Earth, V=107V Energy dissipated, W=qV=100C×107V=109J
