The complex branched structure of lightning induce scientists to think that dielectric breakdown is a very complicated phenomena, we will show that this is not true and that simulating the structure of lightning is an easy task, but depends strongly on boundary conditions. In this work we will introduce a new way of understanding the origin of this tortuous path that relies on minimizing the total energy stored in the system.
