The voltage of clouds is 4  ×  106  V with respect to ground. In a lightning strike lasting 100 ms, a charge of 4 C is delivered to the ground. The power of lightning strike is

a
20 MW
b
80 MW
c
160 MW
d
500 MW

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Work done in delivering q coulomb of charge from clouds to ground.W=Vq=4 ×  106  ×  4=16  ×  106 JThe power of lightning strike isP=Wt = 16 ×  1060.1 = 160 ×  106 W=160  MW
