Commonly the strike carries 20,000 amps.
The average lightning discharge seems to be between 5,000 and 20,000 amps but have been reported to reach 200,000 amps on very rare occasions.
i think you count the time between a flash of lightning and the thunder and that determines how many miles away it is from you.
the most ever ever strokes of lightning was 19
If there are many seconds between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder, it indicates that the storm is far away. Each second of delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder represents a distance of about 1 mile between you and the lightning strike.
To find the miles to the lightning, you can count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder (time interval). Divide this number by 5 to get the distance in miles, as sound travels at about 1 mile every 5 seconds.
A lightning bolt can reach temperatures of around 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (27,760 degrees Celsius).
It is 0.00015 Amperes. -Abhiraj Chauhan (abhirajchauhan@gmail.com)
The human beings have the ability to tolerate about 0.007 Amperes.
the most powerful lightning bolt contains about 950 billion volts but it wouldn't be anything natural it would be the bolt that haarp discharges from the ionosphere of the earth vaporizing anything and anyone that sees it, and also everything around it for thousands of miles.
6 amperes
A typical lightning strike can carry anywhere from 10,000 to 200,000 amperes (amps) of current, with average values around 30,000 amps. The exact amount can vary based on the specific conditions of the strike. Lightning also discharges energy in a very short time frame, lasting only a few microseconds. This immense current is what causes the intense heat and shock waves associated with lightning.
Since kilo- means one thousand, there are one thousand amperes in a kilo-ampere, and there are 0.001 amperes in a kilo-ampere.
