A spark plug in a bike or a car is used to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine. It consists of two electrodes separated by a gap of around 0.6 mm gap as shown in the figure.
To create the spark, an electric field of magnitude 3 x 106Vm-1 is required,
- What potential difference must be applied to produce the spark?
- If the gap is increased, does the potential difference increase, decrease or remains the same?
- Find the potential difference if the gap is 1 mm.
