If the ACA is repealed, with it will go the protection it offers individuals with preexisting health problems. They would again be denied health insurance or subjected to unaffordable insurance premiums.
The rapid transition from a non-conducting to a conductive state produces a brief emission of light and a sharp crack or snapping sound. A spark is created when the applied electric field exceeds the dielectric breakdown strength of the intervening medium.
It is common knowledge that a spark is needed to make a hydrocarbon burn. The spark represents the energy need to break the carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds of the hydrocarbon molecule as well as the oxygen-oxygen bond of the oxygen molecule.
