Abstract :
Return stroke models specify the temporal and spatial variation of the return stroke current along the channel. This information is sufficient to evaluate the temporal development of the electric field along the channel of the return stroke. In this paper the mathematical procedure necessary to do this is introduced. The derived equations can be combined with any return stroke model to calculate the power and energy dissipation during the return stroke.
