Determine the force per meter on a lightning bolt at the equator that carries 20 000 A and is perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field, 3x10-5 T. What is the direction of the force if the current is straight up and the Earth's field direction is due north which is parallel to the ground.

    To determine the force per meter of a light bolt at the equator that carries 20 000 A and is perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field with a magnitude of 3x10-5 T, we do this:

    20000 / 3x10-5 = 666.67x10^6 N/m

    The direction of the force would be to the left parallel to the equator.
