Best Answer

The unit of charge is the 'Coulomb'.

It's the amount of charge that flows past a mark on a wire every second

when the current in the wire is 1 Ampere.

It's the charge on something like 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons. (rounded)

( e = 1.60 x 10-19 coul)

How does lighting discharge?

When there is a sufficiently strong electrostatic charge, it can cause air molecules to ionize, which are then electrically conductive and create a pathway for the discharge of the electrostatic charge.
