Sparks (GCSE Physics)
Sparks
Sparking
Electric fields can cause sparking.
Similar to charge difference, electric fields can cause sparking. The larger the charge difference, the stronger the electric field.
The stronger electric field means that electrons from air particles are removed.
By removing the electrons, the air becomes much more conductive, allowing a current to flow through it easily.
This leads to the production of a spark.
