Best Answer

It depends on the type of sparking/arcing. If you mean in a DC or series-wound motor, it is caused by the making and breaking of the commutator segments against the motor brushes.

If you mean under a car, then it could mean that the muffler is dragging the ground.

If you mean in a CRT television, then it is likely problems with the flyback transformer.
