Dear colleagues,
If an arc or a spark traveling in vacuum is actually the electrons jumping across vacuum, do they travel at near light speed?
From another point of view, devices like thyratrons use ionized gas molecules to conduct electricity, at what speed are those ionized molecules travelling? Do the molecules need to travel at all?
Thanks!
Allan
