It is shown that there exists a discrepancy between the value of the Funkenkonstante for nitrogen calculated according to R OMPE and W EIZEL and the value determined by experiments. In a thermal model it is possible to solve this problem by taking into account the role of the ions for the charge transport. The agreement between the experimental and the theoretical value of the Funkenkonstante in the case of argon may be due to another, nonthermal discharge mechanism.
