Based on Ohm＇s law, a quantitative equation has been derived for the dependence of the maximum streamer length on the discharge voltage of a pulsed positive streamer discharge in water. According to the equation, our results suggest that the streamers spontaneously stop propagating through water due to the voltage at the streamer head dropping below the ignition voltage of a pulsed positive streamer discharge.展开更多
