Problem 11-46 Current and potential change

In a particular lightning bolt, 24C of charge are transferred in 0.21s through a potential difference of 5.5×108V.

(a) What is the average current?
(b) How much electric potential energy is dissipated?


The relationship between charge (q), time (t) and current (I) is:

(A)   I=qt

(B)   I=t/q

(C)   I=q/t
