Abstract :
Taking into account the combined electrode and bulk effects, an expression for the high-field filamentary conduction as a function of applied field and temperature for dielectric liquids has been derived. This expression can explain recent experimental results on the field-dependent thermal activation energy for electric conduction in hydrocarbon liquids.
