Answer:
The value of the maximum charge the cloud can hold Q = 177.08 coulomb
Explanation:
Given data
Electrical Field E = 4 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex] [tex]\frac{N}{C}[/tex]
the maximum charge the cloud can hold is given by
Q = E A x ---- (1)
where A = area = 5 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex]
x = electrical Permittivity of air = 8.854 × [tex]10^{-12}[/tex]
Q = (4 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex] ) (5 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex] ) ( 8.854 × [tex]10^{-12}[/tex] )
Q = 177.08 coulomb
This is the value of the maximum charge the cloud can hold.
