Science Background: Terms Corona Discharge: An electrical discharge due to
ionization of the fluid around a conductor
Spark Gap: A space between two high-potential terminals (as of an induction coil or spark plug) through which pass discharges of electricity
Electric Potential: The maximum amount of energy which can be exerted by each unit of charge in the conductor that is experiencing a force due to an electric field
![Page 6: Electric Breakdown Voltage](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/56816954550346895de0fde5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Science Background: Corona Current
Electric breakdown will be determined by magnitudes of current across the spark gap
Current carried by corona discharge is an integral of the current density over the surface of the conductor
Current carried by corona discharge is measured in microamperes
![Page 7: Electric Breakdown Voltage](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/56816954550346895de0fde5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Science Background: Discharge Mechanism
Coronal discharges are a result of chain reactions in which neutral atoms are ionized by high energy particles in the atmosphere.
When neutral atoms are ionized they release free electrons which then feel coulomb forces due to the electric field.
The positively and negatively charged particles are accelerated in opposite directions and given a kinetic energy
![Page 8: Electric Breakdown Voltage](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062406/56816954550346895de0fde5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Science Background: Avalanche Effect
The chain reactions are commonly called electron avalanches because as the kinetic energy in free electrons in the field increase they gain the ability to ionize other neutral atoms they collide with.

Science BackgroundSpectral Signature
The ratio of reflected energy to incident energy as a function of wavelength
Various materials of the earth’s surface have different spectral reflectance characteristics
The spectral reflectance is dependent on wavelength; moreover, it has different values at different wavelengths for a given terrain feature

Reflected energy from an object can be measured, and a spectral signature can be formed
By comparing the response pattern of different features, distinctions between them can be made

The spatial resolution, also known as ground resolution, is the ground area imaged for the instantaneous field of view (IFOV) of the sensing device
Spatial resolution may also be described as the ground surface area that forms one pixel in the camera image

The field-of-view (FOV) is the range of angles from which the incident radiation can be collected by the detector
Spatial resolution of passive sensors depends primarily on their Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV)
