a.
600 A/s

b.
400 A/s

c.
200 A/s

d.
800 A/s

e.
500 A/s

Question 2

A bolt of lightning strikes the ground 200 m from a 100-turn coil oriented vertically and with the plane of the coil pointing toward the lightning strike. The radius of the coil is 0.800 m and the current in the lightning bolt falls from 6.02 106 A to zero in 10.5 s. What is the voltage induced in the coil over this time period? A question for future electrical engineers: is there any way to get lightning to strike repeatedly at the same point?
