Question

A typical CG flash lowers about 30 Coulombs of negative charge to ground in a period of, say, 100 milliseconds. Then the average current during this time is Group of answer choices a. 3 Amperes b. 30 Amperes c. 300 Amperes d. 3,000 Amperes

Answer 1

30 Coulombs / 0.1 seconds = 300 Amps

The average current during this time is calculated by dividing the amount of charge (in Coulombs) by the amount of time (in seconds) it takes to lower the charge to ground. So, in this case, it is 30 Coulombs divided by 0.1 seconds, which is equal to 300 Amps.
