Abstract
The goal of this chapter is not to provide a reference for the theory of electricity and magnetism. The study of the physics and effects of lightning flashes entail certain elements of electricity and magnetism that are used to describe various interactions. Some of the equations of electromagnetic theory that will be used either directly or indirectly in the book are presented here. For a complete treatment of the subject the reader is referred to Refs. [1] and [2].
