During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud -?

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud - Vground = 3.10 108 V, with the cloud being at the higher potential. What is the change in an electron's electric potential energy when the electron moves from the ground to the cloud?

JDuring a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud -?
Change in potential is 3.10 x 10^8 electron volts

(3 x 10^8 eV)(1.602脳10鈭?9 J/eV)

= 4.806 x 10^(-11) JDuring a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud -?
multiply 3.10108 with the distance between cloud and ground..u will get the change in electric potential energy
