Abstract :
Behavior of the potential and the electric field intensity in front of a lightning leader channel taking into account the influence of space charges injected by the streamers is investigated theoretically. Analytical solutions of Poisson equation are found for different laws of charge density distribution. Influence of the streamer zone parameters on the formation of final jump phase of a leader is investigated.
