During a thunderstorm, a lightning "bolt" carries current between a cloud and the ground below.
if a particular bolt carries a total charge of 31 c in 2.4 ms, what is the magnitude of the current in amps?
and how many electrons are in the process

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total charge carried in a bolt, q = 31 C

Time taken,

Let I is the magnitude of current flowing in a bolt. The total charge flowing per unit time is called electric current. Mathematically, it is given by :

I = 12916.66 A

Let n is the number of electrons. According to the quantization of charges,

q = ne  

e is the charge on electron

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: a. same unit
