The lightning is formed when current starts to flow between the two spheres. Explain at least two different non obvious facts about what is going on inside and around these “lightning bolts”. If a direction is involved with your facts, give that direction.

C) The lightning is formed when current starts to flow between the two spheres. Explain at least two different non obvious facts about what is going on inside and around these “lightning bolts”. If a direction is involved with your facts, give that direction.
Problem 1. Consider the "Lightning Plasma Ball" pictured below.
The diameter of the central sphere is 4.0cm, and the diameter of the outer sphere is 16.0cm. The
central sphere is charged to a voltage of 9000 volts (at its surface; if it helps, the voltage just
barely above its surface is the same as the voltage at its surface). The outer sphere is grounded.
