Question 16 An airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 3,000 m (This is a very dangerous thine to do because of updratis, tubulece, and the gousbulaty of electric diacharge) If there is a charge concentration of-38 C at height 4,000 m withim the cleuod and -i8 Cat beight 1 ,500 m, what is the nmagnitade of the elnctre field & at the nirent 99 109 N /C2) and-18 C at benght 1,500 m, what is the magnitude of the electric field E at the aircrafit Re-899 a 341,620 N C b 303,662 NC C 493,451INC d 151,831 NC e 109,318 NC

Explanation / Answer

E = E1 + E2

E = k q1 / r1^2 + k q2 / r2^2

E = (9 x 10^9) [ (38 / (4000 - 3000)^2) + (38 x (3000-1500)^2)]

E = 494000 N/C
