उत्तर
- The arrangement can be supposed to be a parallel combination of two capacitors each with plate area A/2 and separation. d. Total capacitance `"C"_"p" = "C"_"air" + "C"_"dielectric"`
`= (epsilon_0("A"//2))/"d" + (epsilon_0("A"//2)epsilon"r")/"d"`
`"C"_"p" = (epsilon_0"A")/"2d" (1 + epsilon_"r")` - The arrangement can be supposed to be a series combination of two capacitors, each with plate area A and separation d/2.
Total capacitance CQ = `("C"_1"C"_2)/("C"_1 + "C"_2)`
`= ((2epsilon_0"A")/"d" xx (2epsilon_"r"epsilon_0"A")/"d")/((2epsilon_0"A")/"d" + (2epsilon_"r"epsilon_0"A")/"d")`
`= (4epsilon_"r" ((epsilon_0"A")/"d")^2)/((2epsilon_0"A")/"d" (1 + epsilon_"r"))`
`= (2epsilon_"r" (epsilon_0"A")/"d")/(1 + epsilon_"r")`
`"C"_"Q" = (2epsilon_0"A")/"d" (epsilon_"r"/(1 + epsilon_"r"))`

During a thunder storm, the movement of water molecules within the clouds creates friction, partially causing the bottom part of the clouds to become negatively charged. This implies that the bottom of the cloud and the ground act as a parallel plate capacitor. If the electric field between the cloud and ground exceeds the dielectric breakdown of the air (3 × 106 Vm–1), lightning will occur.
- If the bottom part of the cloud is 1000 m above the ground, determine the electric potential difference that exists between the cloud and ground.
- In a typical lightning phenomenon, around 25 C of electrons are transferred from cloud to ground. How much electrostatic potential energy is transferred to the ground?
