a current density of 8.50 10-13 a/m2 exists in the atmosphere at a location where the electric field is 168 v/m. calculate the electrical conductivity of the earth's atmosphere in this region.



Answer :

The electrical conductivity of the earth's atmosphere in this region is 5.059 x10^-15 mho

Electrical conductivity may be an estimation of how effortlessly a material permits electric current to stream through it. We are given the current density which is  8.50 10-13 a/m2 and the magnitude of the electric field which is 168 v/m.

So the formula for calculating  the conductivity is  

σ=J/E, here the  E is the magnitude of the electric  field and the J is the current  density

= 8.50 10-13 a/m2 / 168 v/m

=5.059 x10^-15 mho
