Question: I need help with electric potential?

( Back )

Answer #1:

What you are referring to is the electric field E which is V/m

Find the breakdown strength for air which is about 3.0x10^6V/m

Now measure the distance between the sphere and the generator

Now E*d ~ the potential voltage

Now if you time the sparks you can find the rate at which potential is generated
