3 km 3 km -30 C P1 +30 C +30 C P2 -30 C 2 km 2 km The charge distribution in a typical thundercloud is such that the bottom of the cloud is negative while the top layer of the cloud is positive. This can be modeled as shown in the (not to scale!) Figure above. The presence of these charges in the cloud induces electrical charges on the ground. Assuming the ground is a conductor it can be shown that the charges in the ground are the mirror image (changing the sign of the charge!) of the charges in the thundercloud, as shown in the Figure. a. Determine the direction and magnitude of the electric field at point P1, which is just above the ground, directly below the thundercloud as shown. b. On the diagram, clearly indicate the direction of the electric field at point P2, which is 1~km horizontally away from P1. How does the magnitude of the field at point P2 compare with the magnitude of the field at point P1? Justify your answer. c. If the potential at infinity is zero determine the…
