What is the average temperature of a spark?
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.
What is van der graaph generator?
From Wikipedia... Van der Graaf Generator is a band.
When was Van der Graaf Generator created?
Van der Graaf Generator was created in 1967.
What happens to a van de graaff generator on a sub-atomic level?
Positively charged and negatively charged electrons are exchanged.
How does a Van de Graaff generator build up a static charge?
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!
Why is lightning so much bigger than a spark from a Van de Graaff Generator?
Lightning is much larger than a spark from a Van de Graaff generator due to the vast difference in energy and scale involved. Lightning can involve millions of volts and discharge energies equivalent to several billion joules, occurring over distances of kilometers. In contrast, a Van de Graaff generator typically produces sparks of only a few hundred thousand volts, with much lower energy and shorter distances. This results in lightning's dramatic size and intensity compared to the relatively small sparks produced by the generator.
If a van de Graaff generator had a strong positive charge on its spherical surface and you moved your finger closer and closer to it a sall sark might appear between you finger and the spheres surface?
The spark is caused by the buildup of excess charge on your finger as it gets closer to the positively charged van de Graaff generator. At a certain point, the electric field between your finger and the generator becomes strong enough to ionize the air molecules, creating a conductive path for the excess charge to flow through in the form of a spark.
What is mechanisms of van de graaff generator?
The purpose of the Van de Graff generator was for it to be used to study static charge
A machine that creates static electricity is the generator?
-- Wimshurst machine -- Van de Graaf generator
How do you change the spark plugs in a 1995 GMC Safari van?
