Hi Jim,

The field at the point for the "next jump" is still 3MV/m??? or is it becoming thermally driven???

Gerry R.

Yes, the field at the end of the leader is 3MV/meter (but remember, it's pretty small in diameter (<< 1cm) so you can get to 3MV/meter pretty easily. Don't need a huge amount of charge or voltage.
