Figure 5

(a) Streak images of the electric field magnitude along the axis of symmetry for air-filled point-plane gaps, at different rates of rise. Red dotted line indicates the time of inception, solid magenta lines indicate the time of contact. (b) Observed linear scaling of the inception time for all combinations of gas and polarity with \((dU/dt)^{-1}\).
