If you're talking lightning, you're talking RF!

Roger, Lightning is DC. How could it be " RF " if it has no
"frequency" ?


Ed



A lightning bolt is a transient so its current must be composed of
components having a wide range frequencies. Consequently lightning
conductors need small self-inductance as well as small resistance to work
properly.
