A typical lightning bolt has about 10.0 c of charge. how many excess electrons are in a typical lightning bolt?

Answered by maham237 @ 25/06/2021

Answer: $6.24\times 10^{19} electrons$ are present in the lightening bolt.

Explanation:

Total charge = -10.0 C

Charge on 1 electron = $-1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

Number of electrons = n

Total charge = n × charge on 1 electron

$-10.0 C=n\times -1.602\times 10^{-19} C$

$n=\frac{-10.0 C}{-1.602\times 10^{-19} C}=6.24\times 10^{19} electrons$

$6.24\times 10^{19} electrons$ are present in the lightening bolt.
