How does Lightning occur​

Physics

When a storm is formed, the storm clouds contain negative charges and the ground is filled with positive charges. Similar to the way magnets work the two are attracted. The the collision of the two charges produce an electrical discharge.

I hope this helped!

Lightning is an electrical dis.charge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. Most lightning occurs within the clouds. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.

Why is it very difficult for astronomers to find objects like planets and asteroids?
mezya [45]
It is difficult for astronomers to find object like planets and asteroids because it takes a lot of time to verify the objects locations and what surrounds a certain object in order to prove and be precise of its location

The energy flow to the earth from sunlight is about 2 1.4 kW>m . (a) Find the maximum values of the electric and mag- netic f
solmaris [256]

Complete question is;

The energy flow to the earth from sunlight is about 1.4kW/m²

(a) Find the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields for a sinusoidal wave of this intensity.

(b) The distance from the earth to the sun is about 1.5 × 10^(11) m. Find the total power radiated by the sun.

Answer:

A) E_max ≈ 1026 V/m

B_max = 3.46 × 10^(-6) T

B) P = 3.95 × 10^(26) W

Explanation:

We are given;

Intensity; I = 1.4kW/m² = 1400 W/m²

Formula for maximum value of electric field in relation to intensity is given as;

E_max = √(2I/(ε_o•c))

Where;

ε_o is electric constant = 8.85 × 10^(-12) C²/N.m²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

Thus;

E_max = √(2 × 1400)/(8.85 × 10^(-12) × 3 × 10^(8)))

E_max ≈ 1026 V/m

Formula for maximum magnetic field is;

B_max = E_max/c

B_max = 1026/(3 × 10^(8))

B_max = 3.46 × 10^(-6) T

Formula for the total power is;

P = IA

Where;

A is area = 4πr²

We are given;

Radius; r = 1.5 × 10^(11) m

A = 4π × (1.5 × 10^(11))² = 2.82 × 10^(23) m²

P = 1400 × 2.82 × 10^(23)

P = 3.95 × 10^(26) W
