Question
State the principle of potentiometer.
Solution
The emf (E) of the cell is directly proportional to the balancing length (l)
ξ ∝ l
ξ = Irl
Where I →current
r → resistance per unit length of the wire.

Lightning is a very good example of a natural current. In typical lightning, there is 109 J energy transfer across the potential difference of 5 × 107 V during a time interval of 0.2 s. Using this information, estimate the following quantities:
- the total amount of charge transferred between cloud and ground
- the current in the lightning bolt
- the power delivered in 0.2 s.
