Sumario:The results of studying the correlation of the hard component of cosmic rays with the electric field of the atmosphere during thunderstorm periods are presented. The data at several energy thresholds are examined using the liquid scintillators of the the Baksan air shower array and the plastic scintillators of the muon detector with a threshold of 1 GeV. It is demonstrated that the quadratic effect (changing intensity of muons at the electric field of any sign) is the most pronounced for soft muons.
