Thunder does not involve voltage, thunder is a sound wave produced by the explosive expansion of air heated by the current flow in a lightning bolt. This current flow is several million amperes!

A lightning bolt is produced when the voltage between a cloud and ground or between two clouds is high enough to trigger an ionization cascade in the air between them. This voltage is several million volts!

The total power dissipated in each lightning bolt is several million million watts or several trillion watts!

Why can't we store thunder voltage?

Thunder voltage cannot be stored because thunder is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. Voltage, on the other hand, is a measure of electric potential difference between two points and cannot be stored as a sound wave.


How much is thunder's voltage?

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.


How wide is a thunder?

The width of a thunder refers to the sound produced by lightning. Thunder can be heard up to 10 miles away from a lightning strike, with the volume of sound decreasing the further you are from the strike.


Is thunder electricity?

Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.


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.

When thunder is falling on substation who it is automatically off?

When a thunder falls on a sub station, immediately a high voltage is produced in the bus bars connected to the substations. This high voltage is sensed by the relays & they send signals to circuit breakers, due to automatic system circuit breakers they are opened immediately. After clearing the faults the breakers closes automatically. so that sub stations are free of damages.


Why you are generating power from thunder in large scale?

You don't generate power from thunder. Thunder is the sound wave produced by the lightning bolt.


Is thunder Jesus's stomach growling?

No, thunder is when voltage from earths atmosphere strikes down at Earth's, its photosphere gives it the appearance of a bolt


Is thunder like rain?

No. Rain is water falling from the sky. Thunder is a loud booming noise produced by lightning. Thunder is usually accompanied by rain.


How much wind is needed to produce 12volt dc?

It's not the amount of wind, but the design of the generator, that decides what voltage is produced. The amount of wind will determine the power produced.


Is the word thunder a action word?

No, thunder is a noun like feel my THUNDER.

When lightning strikes you can see the light energy being produced. What type of energy produces the thunder?

Thunder is produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding the lightning strike, causing the air to vibrate and create sound waves which we hear as thunder. Thunder is essentially the sound produced by the intense heat and energy from a lightning strike rapidly heating and expanding the air.
