Question:

The time profile of the discharge current in a typical cloud-to-ground lightning strike is modeled by a triangle. The surge takes 1 μs to reach the peak value of 100 kA and then is reduced to zero in 99 μS.

(a) Find the electric charge Q discharged.

(b) If the cloud-to-ground voltage before the discharge is 400 MV, find the total energy W released and the average power P during the discharge. 

(c) If during the storm there is an average of 18 such lightning strikes per hour, find the average power released in 1 hour.
