Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi

mum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000C/s; this lasts for 100μs or less. How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time?

Answer:

2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

Explanation:

We have given rate rate of flow of charge \frac{dq}{dt}=20000C/sec

Time is given as t=100\mu sec=100\times 10^{-6}=10^{-4}sec

WE have to find the how much charge flows between the ground and cloud in this time

So the charge flow is given by \frac{dq}{dt}\times t=20000C/sec\times 10^{-4}=2C

So 2C  charge will flow from ground and cloud

The first law of Thermodynamics is another way to describe the law of conservation of Energy. It states that:

Answer:

C. The change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another. Therefore, the sum of the initial kinetic energy and potential energy is equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and potential energy.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf .......equation 1

Where;

Ki and Kf are the initial and final kinetic energy respectively.

Ui and Uf are the initial and final potential energy respectively.

The law of conservation of Energy is another way to describe the law of Thermodynamics. It states that the change of internal energy of a system is the sum of work and heat spent on it.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

ΔU = Q − W

Where;

ΔU represents the change in internal energy of a system.

Q represents the net heat transfer in and out of the system.

W represents the sum of work (net work) done on or by the system.
