A lot. Especially if you're making it go through air. Air is very resistant to electricity and it takes several hundred just to jump a centimeter.

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.

How many volts does it take to make an arc of 0.5cm?

The voltage required to make an arc of 0.5cm can vary depending on factors such as air density and humidity. However, as a general guide, a voltage of around 3,000 to 10,000 volts may be needed to create an arc of 0.5cm in air at atmospheric pressure.

Can a person get an electric from an arc or shot in a car's wiring while in the car?

If you are talking about 12 volts dc, then NO, there is not enough voltage to shock you. Actually, it would take about 40 or more volts to start to get a shock. Of course, standing in water would make the voltages less. Even standing in water, 12 volts is not enough to shock you.


How many volts does it take to arc 1 inch in air between electrodes?

This varies a lot with the conditions and can be between 10,000V to 30,000V per inch of air gap: Are the electrodes pointed? If yes, then on the low end of the range. The voltage increases with air pressure. Humidity and particulate matter also affect the voltage required to strike an arc.
