Lightning is a spectacular example of electric current in a natural phenomenon. There is much variability to lightning bolts, but a typical event can transfer 10^9 J of energy across a potential difference of perhaps 5 x 10^7 V during a time interval of about 0.2 s. Use this information to estimate
(a) the total amount of charge transferred between cloud and ground
(b) the current in the lightning bolt
(c) the average power delivered over the 0.2 s.
