A lightning bolt transfers 6.0 coulombs of charge from a cloud to the ground in 2.0 x 10-3 second. what is the average current d

The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
\Delta t is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and \Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s, so the average current during the event is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise
Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.  

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.

The total momentum of two marbles before a collision is 0.06 kg-m / s. no outside forces act on the marbles. what is the total m
SpyIntel [72]
Hi my friend, since momentum is always conserved without external forces, the momentum after the collosion will still be 0.06 kg*m/s. Hope it helps☺
