Abstract
Properties of electrical discharge in flames and influence of plasma electrons on gas neutrals are investigated by making use of the ionization cross section of air. Frames have three distinctive features. They are hot, emit light and are weakly ionized. We investigate influence of these three characteristics of flames on the electrical breakdown. It is found that the breakdown electric field in flames is inversely proportional to the flame temperature T
