The resistance of an air gap is effectively infinite until it reaches its arcover threshold voltage; then it drops to near zero as the air in the gap ionizes. It returns to effectively infinite when the current through the gap is insufficient to keep the air ionized.

What is the resistance of air gap?

The resistance of an air gap primarily depends on its size and shape, with larger and wider gaps typically having higher resistance due to increased spacing between conductors. Factors like temperature, humidity, and presence of contaminants can also affect the resistance of an air gap. In general, air is considered a poor conductor of electricity, so air gaps have higher resistance compared to solid conductors.

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?

Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.

Why does the air gap leak when you run your dishwasher?

Your air gap is not supposed to leak. Check the hose that leads from the air gap to the garbage disposal for a clog. This should resolve your problem.

Why is it important to have an air gap in a water rocket?

Water is non-compressible. The air gap is what allows additional air to be pumped into the rocket.


When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.
