Spark plug initiates combustion of gasoline in automobile

Reference no: EM13647255

A spark plug initiates combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine by producing a spark across a small gap between twoconductors whenever the electric field in the gap exceeds the dielectric strength of air (3.00*10⁶ V/m). For a gap of 2.8 mm, what is the minimum potential difference that must be applied to produce a spark?
