Sparks occur when the electric field in air exceeds
Sparks occur when the electric field in air exceeds 3 x 106 N/C. This is because free electrons normally present in air are accelerated to such high speeds that their kinetic energy will overcome the potential energy holding other electrons to atoms. When those electrons rearrange themselves after such a collision, a flash of light is emitted. Let us suppose that the work done on an electron must give it an energy of 3 x 10-19 J to cause this ionization. How far does an electron involved in making in a spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom?

Question 15 Dielectric breakdown, also known as lightening, occurs in air when the electric field exceeds 3 x 106 V/m. An automobile spark plug consists of two metal conductors separated by a distance of 0.72 mm. What is the minimum potential difference between these conductors that is needed for dielectric breakdown (a spark) in the spark plug, expressed in volts? . Question 16. A charge moves a distance of 1.5 m at an angle of 100° with respect to a...

You sometimes create a spark when you touch a doorknob after
shuffling your feet on a carpet. Why? The air always has a few free
electrons that have been kicked out of atoms by cosmic rays. If an
electric field is present, a free electron is accelerated until it
collides with an air molecule. It will transfer its kinetic energy
to the molecule, then accelerate, then collide, then accelerate,
collide, and so on. If the electron

Air becomes conducting when the electric field strength in a region exceeds 3 x V/m. If a spark jumps between a charged object and a grounded object when the two objects are 10 cm apart, what is the potential difference between the two objects? If a lightning strike is 4 x m long, what is the potential difference which causes this lighting strike.
