The practical limit to an electric field in air is about 3.00 x 106 N/C. Above this strength, sparking takes place because air begins to ionize and charges flow, reducing the field. a) Calculate the distance a free proton must travel in this field to reach 5.00% of the speed of light, starting from rest. b) Is this practical in air, or must it occur in a vacuum? Explain.

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
