A student is at a height 4m above the ground during a thunderstorm. Given that the potential difference between the thundercloud and the ground is 10\(^7\)V, the electric field created by the storm is

  • A. 2.0 x 10\(^6\) NC\(^{-1}\)
  • B. 2.5 x 10\(^6\) NC\(^{-1}\)
  • C. 1.0 x 10\(^7\) NC\(^{-1}\)
  • D. 4.0 x 10\(^7\) NC\(^{-1}\)

Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

  E = \(\frac{V}{d}\)

  • E is the electric field (in volts per meter, V/m),
  • V is the potential difference (in volts, V),
  • d is the distance between the two points (in meters, m)
  • Given:  Potential difference V = 10\(^7\) 
  • Height d = 4m

That is,   E = \(\frac{10^7}{4} = 2.5\times 10^6 NC^{-1}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
