In this paper, a study of the effect of different node distributions on energy consumption in wireless sensor network is conducted. Three different node placement distributions are utilized namely, uniform, normal, and exponential distributions. LEACH clustering algorithm is utilize to evaluate the performance of the three node placement strategies in terms of energy expenditure, network throughput and network lifetime. In general, it was noticed that normal distribution of network nodes outperforms the other distributions regarding energy consumption, throughput and network lifetime especially when the sink node is distant.
