An arc is an electric current that takes place through the air. A common example of an arc is lightning....A more technical example would that of a Jacobs ladder. A Jacobs ladder is the thing that you see in old more with the electricity climbing two metal rods and popping at the top, at which point a new arc starts at the bottom.
An arc can be created by introducing two charged conductors of a relatively high voltage into clase proximity to one another or by slowly separating two conductors that have a high voltage or current running through them.
If you were asking about geometry then it can created by a fluid sweeping motion from one point to another. Any portion of a circle or oval is said to be an arc. For a particular arc it would created based upon how far apart the two points are that you wish to create the arc between and how high you wish for the sagitta (distance from the center of the cord perpendicularly to the arc) to be. For a given set of points a larger Hieght S (sagitta) will create a longer arc. The arc can be created by selecting the two points and the then measuring the desired height from the center of the adjoining arc. Then point would be found that is an equal distance from all points and draw a semi circle, with the new fourth point as a center, between the first two points.

Does arc welding create ozone?
Yes, arc welding does create ozone. It is because the temperatures created during arc welding convert the nearby oxygen to ozone.
What is an arc lamp?
An arc lamp is a general term for a class of lamps that uses an electric arc or voltage arc to create light. You've seen the bright light given off by electric arc welding, and the idea of the electric arc is the principle behind an arc lamp.
Is it possible to create Ironman's Arc Reactor?
yes its possible
Why does air need to be at low pressure to create an electric arc?
Air is a relatively poor conductor of electricity, it is an insulator. Removing air creates an easier path for electrons to jump and create an arc.
Who requested an arc be drawn to create Delaware's northern bound?
William Penn.
What company that create blazblue games-?
The company that developed BlazBlue games is Arc System Works.
What colonial asked an arc to be drawn to create Delaware's northern boundary?
William Penn.
What plates can create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
What is resistance welding?
Arc. It's where electrical resistance is used to create the heat for the welding process.
What plates create a volcanic arc?
An oceanic plate being subducted under a continental plate.
How do you find the arc length with the angle given?
An arc can be measured either in degree or in unit length. An arc is a portion of the circumference of the circle which is determined by the size of its corresponding central angle. We create a proportion that compares the arc to the whole circle first in degree measure and then in unit length. (measure of central angle/360 degrees) = (arc length/circumference) arc length = (measure of central angle/360 degrees)(circumference) But, maybe the angle that determines the arc in your problem is not a central angle. In such a case, find the arc measure in degree, and then write the proportion to find the arc length.
Can electricity pass through tissues?
If the voltage is very high (kilovolts), it will create an arc and burn through the paper.
