Abstract
A hybrid method is presented for evaluating the electromagnetic fields very close to the lightning strokes. The vertical channel has been widely studied, unlike the inclined channel particularly the very near fields, the litterature show poor approach for such problems. Using a simple method for calculating the magnetic field by considering the lightning stroke as an infinitely long filament. The electric field is then calculated by simply discretising the Ampere’s law. The results show that the channel inclination affects markedly the fields at close distances.
