What is another word for corona discharge?
Pronunciation: [kəɹˈə͡ʊnə dɪst͡ʃˈɑːd͡ʒ] (IPA) 
Corona discharge is an electrical discharge that occurs when an electric field is introduced to a gas. There are several synonyms for corona discharge, including ion discharge, static discharge, and electrical breakdown. Ion discharge occurs when an electric field separates ions from an atom or molecule, leading to the creation of plasma. Static discharge is similar to corona discharge, and occurs when static electricity builds up and discharges in the form of a spark. Electrical breakdown refers to the point at which an insulating material becomes conductive due to the presence of an electric field. While these terms are used interchangeably, they all refer to the same phenomenon.
