The voltage depends on the length of the bolt, with the dielectric breakdown of air being three million volts per meter, and lightning bolts often being several hundred meters long.
32.
The mechanism of its creation is tribocharging of the adhesive tape and subsequent discharge; this was hypothesized to involve bremsstrahlung with absorption or energy density focusing during dielectric breakdown of a gas.
33.
A notable example is a form of directed dielectric breakdown called " Force Lightning, " infamously used by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious to torture Jedi-initiate and rebel Luke Skywalker.
34.
Also, after a current flow, a difference of potential between the two electrodes is restored to what it was before the breakdown, so that a new liquid dielectric breakdown can occur.
35.
Nonequilibrium plasma ( cold plasma ) can be generated under atmospheric conditions at very high frequencies or using short duration microdischarges created by dielectric breakdown between two electrodes separated by an insulating dielectric barrier.
36.
For example, when gas near a high voltage electrode begins to undergo dielectric breakdown, electrical charges are injected into the region near the electrode, forming space charge regions in the surrounding gas.
37.
Field crystallization followed by an dielectric breakdown is characterized by a sudden rise in leakage current, within a few milliseconds, from nano-ampere magnitude to ampere magnitude in low-impedance circuits.
38.
The total injector ( electron injector plus hole injector ) should also be sufficiently thick overall to prevent the electric fields forming under bias from becoming great enough to induce dielectric breakdown of the material.
39.
When an electrical field of more than 0.5 V / nm is applied to the resting trans-membrane potential, it is proposed that water enters the cell during this dielectric breakdown.
40.
The maximum charge that a capacitor can hold is determined by its dielectric breakdown point, which depends on the quality of construction . talk ) 16 : 25, 6 November 2014 ( UTC)
