107. एक गणित का उदाहरण इस ओर स्पष्ट करता है, देखें Text book of Physics (Std.
XII), part II, page 172— Probleml: Average surface charge density of the earth's surface is 10-9 coulomb/meter'. If there exists a potential difference of 400 volts between a certain layer of upper atmosphere above the earth's surface causing a current of 1800 amp (assumed constant) to flow from earth's surface to the atmosphere, how much time will it take earth's surface charge density to become zero? (Radius of Earth = 6400 km) Surface charge density 6 = 10% coulomb/meter Surface are of earth = 4 R : A = 51445.5 x 101° meter Total charge Q = QA = 10' x 51445.5 x 100 =5.144 x 10 coulomb. Q = It => t = - ९, = 5.144 x 10/1800 =0.2857 x 103 t = 285.7 second A Note: Thunderstorms continually going on at various places on the earth convey electrical charge to the surface of the earth maintaining
