However, that was not an electric arc as this phenomenon is considered by the modern science: This is evidently the description, not of an arc, but of a spark. For the essence of an arc is that it should be continuous, and that the poles should not be in contact after it has once started.n electric arc differs from a glow discharge in that the current density is quite high, and the voltage drop within the arc is low; at the cathode, the current density can be as high as one megaampere per square centimeter. An electric arc has a non-linear relationship between current and voltage.
