A typical lightning bolt carries a peak current of 100 kA. (a) Estimate the peak magnetic field
Question:
A typical lightning bolt carries a peak current of 100 kA.
(a) Estimate the peak magnetic field a distance of 500 m from where the lightning bolt strikes the ground.
(b) If you have a device that can measure magnetic fields as small as B = 100 pT (10-10 T), how far can you be from the lightning bolt and still detect its magnetic field?
