Electrical Arc
An electrical arc is when electricity travels through the air, creating a bright flash and heat. This happens when the electrical voltage is very high, like in an 11kV line, and the distance between the electrical source and another object is small enough for the electricity to bridge the gap. It is extremely dangerous.
