A thundercloud has an electric charge of 48.8 C near the top of the cloud and –41.7 C near the bottom of the cloud. The magnitud

IceJOKER [234]

Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law: The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or, $\vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

Given:

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

So,

$\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km
