Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 amp


Currents during lightning strikes can be up to 50000 Amp (or more!). We can model such a strike as a 48500 Amp vertical current perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, which is about 1/2 gauss. Determine what is the force on each meter of this current due to the earth's magnetic field?
