Corona discharge occurs more in

Corona discharge occurs more in

Right Answer is:

Humid Weather

SOLUTION

  • In humid conditions, there is more water droplets in the atmosphere this water droplet increases the electric field on the surface of the conductor hence corona is generated.
  • The high humidity decreases the breakdown strength of the air surrounding the conductor which further decreases the intensity of the discharge.
  • This electric field accelerates the free electron charge in the air surrounding the conductor.
  • This causes an avalanche which is called the corona discharge.
