As a result of beam particle interaction the return stroke ion beam is retarded by the plasma wave turbulence in the stepped leader. The current thus generated does not vary linearly. Its variation can be approximated to be of the simple harmonic form. In this paper it is estimated that the only one quarter of the total energy of the return stroke is given to electromagnetic waves.</p> https://ultraphysicalsciences.org/paper/1377/ Electromagnetic Radiation Stroke
