Lightning:
The visible discharge of electricity occurs when a region of a cloud acquires an excess electrical charge (either positive or negative) that is sufficient to break down the resistance of air.
Current is a measure of the flow of electric charge over time.
It is defined as \(I = \frac{{dq}}{{dt}}\)
where q = Charge
t = Time
I = Current
Calculation:
Given:
q = 15 C
t = 6 milliseconds
\(I = \frac{{dq}}{{dt}}\)
\(I = \frac{{15}}{{ 6~ms}}\)
I = 2.5 kA
