Abstract :
The field dependence of electrical tree lengths provides an accessible means of checking the applicability of the Dissado model (1989, 1990). The authors examine the ability of this model (in alternative versions) to reproduce the limited experimental data available. They show how the fractal nature of electrical trees can be used to avoid the complications involved in comparing data for trees of different shapes
