(A) Regarding the Earth and a cloud layer 700 m above the Earth as the "plates" of a capacitor, calculate the capacitance. Assume the cloud layer has an area of 1 km2 and that the air between the cloud and the ground is pure and dry.
(B) Assume charge builds up on the cloud and on the ground until a uniform electric field of 4.00 multiplied by 106 N/C throughout the space between them makes the air break down and conduct electricity as a lightning bolt. What is the maximum charge the cloud can hold?
