Try to release a static discharge from your finger to some metal object. Measure the distance between your finger and the metal object at the time of the discharge. Knowing the breakdown voltage of air, what was the potential difference between your finger and the metal object just before the discharge? Propose an experiment to measure the point at which various substances experience electric breakdown.
