Consider the Earth and a cloud layer 600 m above the planet to be the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. (a) If the cloud layer has an area of 4.0 km² = 4000000 m², what is the capacitance? (b) If an electric field strength greater than 3.0 × 106 N/C causes the air to break down and conduct charge (lightning), what is the maximum charge the cloud can hold? C Need Help?
