1. Assume Earth and a cloud layer 800.0 m above the Earth can be treated as plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. a. If the cloud layer has an area of 1.00 106 m², what is the capacitance? b. If an electric field strength of 2.0 x 106 N/C causes the air to conduct charge (lightning), what charge can the cloud hold? c. Describe what must happen to its molecules for air to conduct electricity.​
