Would a onetime snap and pop high voltage arc in a ten year old projection TV be more likely caused by dust and humidity or the aging of components?

This is likely to be caused by the ageing of components, specifically the plastics used for insulation. Dust and humidity will sometimes contribute to it, but not with new components. Some suggest that it is possible to seal the components with black silicon to prevent a repeat. However, the components that are affected carry up to 30000 volts. Not only do they operate at that voltage but they can retain that voltage for days or weeks after the television was last used. Don't under any circumstances try to repair a television unless you are properly trained and qualified to do so.

Why is a voltage regulator important?
To protect voltage sensitive components of an electrical circuit.
Difference between active and passive components?
ACTIVE COMPONENTS The components which produce the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as active components. Example:transistors etc,. PASSIVE COMPONENTS The components which stores the energy in the form of current or voltage are called as passive components. example:inductors,resistors,capacitors etc,.

What are regulatory components?
Regulatory components in short to say they are the components which regulate the input voltage and current applied to the electrical and electronic devices as well as machines also........... In shortly it will stablise the voltage and current and this components are used in stablisers........ It also prevents machines and devices from damage..............
Why does the picture bend upwards in the bottom left corner of a Philips 55 projection television?
Picture bowing and bending on a projection TV is usually caused by an out-of-spec power supply voltage that is not providing sufficient voltage for proper screen deflection. Seek qualified service for this unit.
Is there a formula to calculate the breakdown voltage of air at specific temperatures pressures and humidity over a distance?
Yes, ball sparks gaps is the official way to calculate the breakdown voltage of air at specific temperatures pressures and humidity over a distance.
How do the components of an electrochemical cell produce voltage?
Go screw off
What is the enemy of electrical components in a computer?

Individual components in a parallel circuit experience the same?
Voltage
Why is static higher on a dry day than a humid day?
Water molecules allows some electricity to constantly discharge. Only little humidity and the static electricity can grow to a quite high voltage. A lot of humidity will counteract this. As voltage increases, more will be dissipated by the moisture.
What is the voltage in which ESD can affect components?
Most components are designed and built to work at very low voltage. ESD can be of a magnitude of 1000 times greater. So if this voltage can find its way into a circuit it can permanently damage the circuit or worst yet weaken it for a premature failure
Where are resistors placed to control voltage and current?
A: A RESISTOR is a passive component it cannot control voltage these components and/or current it can however limit
