AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how much charge is transferred during the return stroke of a lightning bolt, we can use the relationship between current, charge, and time. The formula we will use is: \[ Q = I \times t \] Where: - \( Q \) is the charge transferred (in coulombs), - \( I \) is the current (in amperes), - \( t \) is the time (in seconds). ...
