During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud - Vground = 2.1 x 108 V, with the cloud being at the higher potential.
What is the change in an electron's potential energy when the electron moves from the ground to the cloud?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]W=3.36\times 10^{-11}\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Electric Potential difference is [tex]\Delta V=2.1\times 10^8\ V[/tex]

Charge of Electron [tex]q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

Change in Electric Potential Energy when electron moves from the ground to the cloud require certain amount of work to move electron against a potential  from Ground to cloud

Change in electric Potential Energy [tex]=q\times \Delta V[/tex]

[tex]W=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.1\times 10^8[/tex]

[tex]W=3.36\times 10^{-11}\ J[/tex]
