Ionic-current measuring method
A measure of the conductivity in the spark gap in order to select a spark plug of the correct heat range
Ionic-current measuring technique
A measure of the conductivity in the spark gap in order to select a spark plug of the correct heat range
Ionization
The process of adding electrons to, or removing electrons from, atoms or molecules, thereby creating ions. High temperatures, electrical discharges, and nuclear radiation can cause ionization.
