please show all steps.
11. A thunderstorm is being tracked on radar. It is noted that the bottom of the clouds of the storm are 1500.0 meters above the ground and is square in shape with sides of 20.0 km. The potential difference between bottom of the clouds and the Earth is 35.000.000 Volts. Model this Earth-cloud system as a giant capacitor. a. What is the capacitance of the system? b. What is the magnitude of the charge stored on the base of the cloud? C. What is the energy stored in the system? d. Does the rain coming down between the cloud and Earth affect the results? Explain.
