Chapter 27, Problem 27.13DQ
A student claims that if lightning strikes a metal flag-pole, the force exerted by the earth’s magnetic field on the current in the pole can be large enough to bend it. Typical lightning currents are of the order of 104 to 105 A. Is the student’s opinion justified? Explain your reasoning.
