Lightning As a crude model for lightning, consider the ground to be one plate of a parallel-plate capacitor and a cloud at an al

titude of 650 m to be the other plate. Assume the surface area of the cloud to be the same as the area of a square that is 0.70 km on a side. a. What is the capacitance of this capacitor?b. How much charge can the cloud hold before the dielectric strength of the air is exceeded and a spark (lightning) results?

Answer:

6.67154\times 10^{-9}\ F

13.009503 C

Explanation:

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

k = Dielectric constant of air 3\times 10^6\ V/m

Side of plate = 0.7 km

A = Area

d = Distance = 650 m

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 700^2}{650}\\\Rightarrow C=6.67154\times 10^{-9}\ F

The capacitance is 6.67154\times 10^{-9}\ F

Electric field is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=Ckd\\\Rightarrow Q=6.67154\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^6\times 650\\\Rightarrow Q=13.009503\ C

The charge on the cloud is 13.009503 C

When conducting a search to identify a text's credibility and reliability, you have to check the following characteristics:

  • Sources: where the information is obtained and it is supposed to be true. It is said that you need at least three different sources that explain the same information for it to be validated.

  • Is the article is current?: articles could change all the time, specially scientific ones because new discoveries can change what was discovered before, so it is important to check if the text you are reading is current or not, and if it is not, you need to check if something has changed during all those years.

<h3>Article's credibility</h3>

In this exercise, you have to present an article and describe the purpose of the source and if the article is current or not.

For example, let's select an article called "How using social media affects teenagers".

The purpose of the sources in this article is to demonstrate how social media affects teenagers using different surveys.
