Question

The difference in electric potential between a thunder cloud and the ground is 2.08 ✕ 108 V. Electrons move from the ground which is at a lower potential to the cloud which is at a higher potential. Determine the change in electric potential energy of one of the electrons that move to the cloud.

    Answer:

    Electric potential energy, \Delta V=-3.32\times 10^{-11}\ volts

    Explanation:

    The difference in electric potential between a thunder cloud and the ground is, V=2.08\times 10^8\ V

    We need to find the the change in electric potential energy of one of the electrons that move to the cloud. The electric potential energy is given by :

    \Delta V=q\times V\\\\\Delta V=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2.08\times 10^8\\\\\Delta V=-3.32\times 10^{-11}\ volts

    So, the change in electric potential energy of one of the electrons that move to the cloud -3.32\times 10^{-11}\ volts.
