The dielectric field strength of air is 4 to 30 kV/cm.
So a voltage of less than 4 kV is not enough to cause a spark to jump a 1 cm air gap.
A voltage over 30 kV is plenty to cause a spark to jump a 1 cm air gap.
Within that range, pointy conductors allow a spark to form at lower voltage than smoothly rounded conductors.
Different gases and gas pressures also have an effect on the exact voltage required to produce a spark.

When do you estimate?
when you need 30 bugs you cant just count them all cause there small and jump alot so you estimate how many bugs you piked up
How many syllables are in the word jump?
Jump has one syllable.
How many syllables are in jump rope?
There are two syllables. Jump-rope.
What is the measurement of the standing long jump of a kindergartner?
They should be able to jump within a few inches of their height. This also gives them a set place to hit, making it easier to jump
What does jump in jump math mean?
It teaches you how to take jump in mind i.e if u have to solve 2+2+ 2=6, you just do 2x3= 6!!!! isn't it kool.
What cause the electricity jump from a cloud to the ground?
the jump is just to balance energy between earth and cloud...bcoz we know the fact that ' energy is neither created nor destroyed '.
What will happen if there is a gap in electric circuit?
If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.
What voltage do you need on the jump pack for a 2007 dodge charger?
12 volts.
Why do they tell you not to stand by water during thunderstorms?
Because water conducts electricity and lightning is electricity. Also electricity can jump.
Does electricity jump from conductor to conductor?
Yes,obviously.
Can you get an electric shock through the air?
yes, it's called lightning also in the case of high voltages the general rule of clearance is 1 foot for every 1000 volts. so those high tension towers you see can carry in excess of 13200 volts so if you get any closer than 14 feet the electricity could jump to you.
Can you make a pickle jump with electricity?
Jack it to a car battery.
How many amps is 500 watts for a jump starter?
To calculate the amps for a jump starter with 500 watts, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. If assuming a standard 12-volt car battery, the calculation would be 500 watts / 12 volts = 41.67 amps.
Can you jump 2 6volt batteries with a 12 volt battery to get 24 volts?
Yes connect all 3 batteries in series. 6+6+12=24 volts.
What equipment is needed to trampoline?
Your feet to jump
Why did the monkey jump?
Cause they do
How many volts does it take to make an arc?
It typically takes around 3,000 to 5,000 volts to create an arc in air. The exact voltage required can vary depending on factors such as the distance between the electrodes and the air pressure.
