3. Thunderstorms have the effect of depositing negative charge on the surface of the earth. On average there is an electric field of magnitude E, pointing straight down near the surface of the earth. (a) What is the total net charge of the earth's surface? (b) What is the capacitance of the earth? (Assume a spherical conducting earth of radius Rc.) (c) What is the potential energy of this charge distribution? (Express your answer in terms of E. and Re while assuming the potential at infinity is zero.)
