During a lightning storm, clouds develop voltage differences of approximately 10^810 8  v. if an electric field of strength 3\times10^63×10 6  v/m is required to produce lightning, estimate the length of the lightning bolt, in meters.

33.3 m

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage difference and electric field is given by:

where

E is the electric field strength

is the potential difference

d is the distance between the two points considered

For the lightning, we have:

Substituting into the formula, we find the length of the lightning bolt:
