Question

During a lightning discharge, 1500 C of charge move through a potential difference of 1.0 x 10​8​ V in 2.0 x 10​–2​ s. The energy released by this lightning bolt is: (hint: you may not need to use all the numbers provided to determine the answer.)

Answer 1

$$E=qU=(1500)(10^8)=1.5\cdot10^{11}\ J$$
