Abstract

Variations of electromagnetic induction are considered. It is shown that induction caused by the existence of an electromagnetic energy flow also exists. The EMF of this induction is determined as a function of the electromagnetic energy flow density. It is shown that this flow, together with the electrical field strength, creates so-called autonomous electric charges, which move in the wire along with the energy flow and generate a chaotic thermal electron current. It is further shown that it is precisely these autonomous electric charges that create streamers and lightning.
