36. During a thunderstorm a flash overcomes a potential difference of 5x107 V within a period of 0.5 ms and converts an energy of 500 MJ. a) How long could you run a 100W light bulb with that energy? b) Calculate the mean current and the transferred charge. Compare the number of transferred carriers with the number of electrons in one cubic millimeter of water. Answer Key: 36a: 58 days; 36b: 20kA, 10C=6.25E19e, 3.3E20e
