Since thunder is composed of sound waves, it doesn't have a voltage; it has a frequency (pitch), and an intensity (loudness) measured in decibels.

The voltage of the lightning bolt itself is proportionate to its length; by current estimates, the longest and most powerful bolts can max out at over 120 million volts.

Positive (ground-to-cloud) lightning strikes, while rarer, can be up to 10 times more powerful than the usual negative (cloud-to-ground) strikes. This is because the earth, being a far larger mass than any thundercloud, is capable of collecting a greater electrical charge in one place before discharging it upward.

What is locally known as 'The Smoke That Thunders'?

Victoria Falls is locally known as "The Smoke That Thunders" due to the large amount of mist and spray that rises up from the waterfall, resembling smoke.


How do you determine the voltage and current for circuit?

Voltage is "Unit of Measure"that how much of Electromotive force needed to move how many numbers of electrons in certain orbit with respect to the time is Volt. The tendency of electrons are being forced from their orbits around the nucleus in an atom by electromotive force is the Current flow


What does power line carry voltage or current?

It carries a current at the set voltage of the line. Current is the actual electricity that flows along the line and is used up in your electric appliances whereas voltage is the difference between the energy being generated at the station and ground.AnswerIt carries both voltage and current. Voltage exists between each line conductor, and current flows through each line conductor.


What happens to voltage in a series circuit?

Total voltage = the source. The voltage around the circuit is divided proportionally by each of the resistances in line. The current is = the source voltage divided by the sum of all the resistance.


How much voltage would be produced by 600 turns of copper and a neodymium magnet?

The voltage produced by a generator depends on various factors such as the strength of the magnetic field, the speed at which the magnet and coil rotate, and the number of turns in the coil. Without additional information such as the speed of rotation, it is challenging to provide an exact voltage value.
