A lightning bolt strikes a tree, moving 20.0 C of charge through a potential difference of 1.00102 MV. (a) What energy was dissipated?

Lightning can be studied with a Van de Graaff generator, which consists of a spherical dome on which charge is continuously deposited by a moving belt. Charge can be added until the electric field at the surface of the dome becomes equal to the dielectric strength of air. Any more charge leaks off in sparks as shown in Figure P20.67. Assume the dome has a diameter of 30.0 cm and is surrounded by dry air with a breakdown electric field of 3.00 106 V/m. (a) What is the maximum potential of the dome? (b) What is the maximum charge on the dome? Figure P20.67 David Evison/Shutterstock.com

Two large, parallel metal plates, each of area A, are oriented horizontally and separated by a distance 3d. A grounded conducting wire joins them, and initially each plate carries no charge.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates.
