How powerful is bolt of lightning?
An average bolt of negative lightning carries an electric current of 30,000 amperes (30 kA), and transfers 15 coulombs of electric charge and 500 megajoules of energy.Positive lightning strikes typically carry six to ten times the charge and voltage difference of a negative bolt.
What is it called when lightning strikes the ground?
Static discharge is causes the spark that is seen when electricity in a thunderhead discharges. The most common name for this type of spark or discharge is lightening.
When a lightning bolt transfers a charge of 17 coulombs when it strikes the ground. How many electrons does the lightning bolt transfer as it strikes the ground?
If a lightening bolt transfers twenty three coulombs to earth how many electrons are transferred?
What happens when lightning strikes the ground?
I read a book by an electrical engineer who said, "When lightning strikes the earth. there is a positive charge in the earth from which sends runners up toward the base of a cumulonimbus cloud which has a negative charge. The negative charge sends out runners toward the runners of positive charge. When the two charges meet, the lightning charge goes toward the earth and the result is a bolt of lightning.
Which god has his lightning bolt stolen in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief?
Zeus has his lightning bolt stolen in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
What charge does a lightning acquire?
A bolt of lightning is almost pure electrons ... so the charge is negative.
What charge does the lightning bolt when it leaves the cloud?
120 megawatts
Why won't my hot wheels nitro speeders charge?

Is Lightning is an example of circuit electricity?
No. Charge has been separated and is finding its way back.

If A typical lightning bolt has about 10.0 C of charge How many excess electrons are in a typical lightning bolt?
Number of excess electrons = Q/E = 10/-1.6x10^-19 = 6.24x10^19
Who is the lightning bolt in the olympics?
"Lightning Bolt" is the nickname for Usain Bolt
How does static electricity build up in clouds?
Lightning
Can a lightning bolt provide electricity?
Yes, a lightning bolt can provide electricity because a lightning bolt is electricity.
