Chapter 27, Problem 27P
Side flash. Figure 27-38 indicates one reason no one should stand under a tree during a lightning storm. If lightning comes down the side of the tree, a portion can jump over to the person, especially if the current on the tree reaches a dry region on the bark and thereafter must travel through air to reach the ground. In the figure, part of the lightning jumps through distance d in air and then travels through the person (who has negligible resistance relative to that of air because of the highly

Lightning is a spectacular example of electric current in a natural phenomenon. There is much variability to lightning bolts, but a typical event can transfer 10^9 J of energy across a potential difference of perhaps 5 x 10^7 V during a time interval of about 0.2 s. Use this information to estimate
(a) the total amount of charge transferred between cloud and ground
(b) the current in the lightning bolt
(c) the average power delivered over the 0.2 s.
Construct Your Own Problem. Consider a battery used to supply energy to a cellular phone. Construct a problem in which you determine the energy that must be supplied by the battery, and then calculate the amount of charge it must be able to move in order to supply this energy. Among the things to be considered are the energy needs and battery voltage. You may need to look ahead to interpret manufacturer’s battery ratings in ampere-hours as energy in joules.

- A potential difference of 1.00 V is maintained across a 10.0-0 resistor for a period of 20.0 s. What total charge passes by a point in one of the wires connected to the resistor in this time interval?arrow_forwardCertain fish, such as the Nile fish (Gnathonemus), concentrate charges in their head and tail, thereby producing an electric field in the water around them. This field creates a potential difference of a few volts between the head and tail, which in turn causes current to flow in the conducting seawater. As the fish swims, it passes near objects that have resistivities different from that of seawater, which in turn causes the current to vary. Cells in the skin of the fish are sensitive to this current and can detect changes in it. The changes in the current allow the fish to navigate.Since the electric field is weak far from the fish, we shall consider only the field running directly from the head to the tail. We can model the seawater through which that field passes as a conducting tube of area and having a potential difference across its ends. These fish navigate by responding to changes in the current in seawater. This current is due to a potential difference of around 3.00 V…arrow_forwardMeasurements made during severe electrical storms reveal that lightning bolts can carry as much as 30 C of charge and can travel between a cloud and the ground in time intervals of around 100 μs (and sometimes even shorter).
