  2. Electric spark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_spark

    A spark on a spark plug Lightning is a natural example of an electric spark. An electric spark is an abrupt electrical discharge that occurs when a sufficiently high electric field creates an ionized , electrically conductive channel through a normally-insulating medium, often air or other gases or gas mixtures.

    A spark plug.The spark gap is at the bottom. A spark plug uses a spark gap to initiate combustion.The heat of the ionization trail, but more importantly, UV radiation and hot free electrons (both cause the formation of reactive free radicals) [citation needed] ignite a fuel-air mixture inside an internal combustion engine, or a burner in a furnace, oven, or stove.

  9. Electrostatic discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_discharge

    A spark is triggered when the electric field strength exceeds approximately 4–30 kV/cm [3] —the dielectric field strength of air. This may cause a very rapid increase in the number of free electrons and ions in the air, temporarily causing the air to abruptly become an electrical conductor in a process called dielectric breakdown. Lightning ...
