Near the surface of the Earth, there is an electric field (even when there is no thunderstorm). Usually, the air is positively charged, and the ground is negatively charged, creating an electric field of typically 100V/m, pointing vertically down. This phenomenon is known as “atmospheric electricity". In our discussions below, treat this electric field as uniform, so that we have plane symmetry in the system.
