Assertion (A): A thunderstorm can be regarded as an electrical generator driven by convection.
Reason (R): The updraught does mechanical work against the electrostatic attraction between charges.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the energetics, and the ultimate source is latent heat released by condensation. The electrical energy is a small fraction of the total energy the storm processes. Latent heat dwarfs the electrical output entirely.
