Corona discharge Corona discharge A corona discharge is an electrical discharge brought on by the ionization of a fluid such as air surrounding a conductor that is electrically charged. Spontaneous corona discharges occur naturally in high-voltage systems unless care is taken to limit the electric field strength. A corona will occur when the strength of the electric field (potential gradient) around a conductor is high enough to form a conductive region, but not high enough to cause electrical breakdown or arcing to nearby objects. It is often seen as a bluish (or other color) glow in the air adjacent to pointed metal
Latin spelling and pronunciation which the previous long and short versions of the vowels have been either lost or replaced by other phonetic contrasts. A minimal set showing both long and short vowels and long and short consonants is "ānus" ('buttocks'), "annus" ('year'), "anus" ('old woman'). In Old Latin, as in Proto-Italic, stress normally fell on the first syllable of a word. During this period, the word-initial stress triggered changes in the vowels of non-initial syllables, the effects of which are still visible in classical Latin. Compare for example: In the earliest Latin writings, the original unreduced vowels are still visible. Study of this
