Re: [Phys-L] lightning



So there's a plasma, with positive ions drifting one way and free electrons the other?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that free electrons don't last long.
It's too easy for them to attach to molecules to form negative ions.

Right. As long as the flash of lightning?
