Abstract :
A new technique for determining the field at the surface of the earthed electrode of a gap subjected to an impulse voltage is described. An example is given of the results obtained when the technique is applied to the study of the field variation during the initial stages of spark breakdown in a rod-plane gap, showing, in particular, the influence of space charges.
