What is Breakdown Voltage?
Breakdown voltage is the minimum voltage required to ionize a gas and initiate plasma formation. This threshold varies depending on factors such as gas type, pressure, and electrode configuration. Once the breakdown voltage is exceeded, a conductive path forms, allowing current to flow and sustain the plasma. This principle is fundamental to plasma ignition in industrial and scientific applications.
