The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800 A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged?
An electron with a speed of 6.7 × 104m/s is moving parallel to a wire that’s carrying a current of 1A. If the electronmoving is in the opposite direction of the technical current at a distance of 15cm from the wire what is the acceleration experienced by this electron?
