Lichtenberg figure: History, Formation & In insulating materials

A Lichtenberg figure (German: Lichtenberg-Figur), or Lichtenberg dust figure, is a branching electric discharge that sometimes appears on the surface or in the interior of insulating materials. Lichtenberg figures are often associated with the progressive deterioration of high-voltage components and equipment. The study of planar Lichtenberg figures…
