  1. ELECTRIC DISCHARGE BY: KRISTA, DANIELA, JADE AND JODIE

  2. What are electric discharges? Electric discharge is another form of light production that is produced by an electric current passing through a gas. For example when you pass by a lit neon sign for a business, or every time you see a flash of lightning. Neon gas produces this characteristic red color as an electric current passes through it. Lightning is a dramatic example of an electric discharge through a gas

  3. How Does it work? Explanation Light from Electric Discharge occurs when an electric current passes through a gas. The electricity passing through the gas creates energy and causes it to glow.

  4. How is it used? Examples • Lightning • Sparks from Static Electricity • Neon Signs • Xenon Flash Lamp (a lamp commonly found in film and digital cameras) • Strobe lights • Other lamps made with different gases that produce different colored lights
