It depends on the spark...For most small electrostatic sparks, the kind you might see in school from a Van Der Graff generator, the temperature is around 4000oC - 5000oC, close to the temperature of the surface of the Sun.For the largest sparks - lightning - the temperature can reach around 30,000oC.
From Wikipedia... Van der Graaf Generator is a band.
Van der Graaf Generator was created in 1967.
Positively charged and negatively charged electrons are exchanged.
A Van de Graaff generator operates by transferring electric charge from a moving belt to a terminal, usually, a hollow metal ball. It is an electrostatic generator, similar in principle to what happens when you rub your feet against a carpet and touch your cat!
She is not shocked. She becomes part of the dome of the Van de Graaff, and charges flow onto her body. They do not jump to her body through a spark, so she is not shocked.
Because love is all u need baby, I love you
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge

I assume you mean the "van de Graaff generator". Better for what, exactly? From what I read, they serve different purposes. Specifically as a particle accelerator, the van de Graaff generator has been superseded by other designs.
