The spark plugs in an automobile engine produce an electrical spark to ignite the fuel in the engine’s combustion chamber. The spark is produced by applying a large voltage across the two electrodes (i.e., small exposed pieces of metal) that are separated by a small air-filled gap. When the electric field in the gap exceeds the electrical breakdown threshold for air, a spark will form across the gap.The gap thickness in most spark plugs run between 0.6 mm and 1.8 mm , and the breakdown threshold for air is 3.0×106mV. Calculate the minimum voltage that must be supplied to the spark plug to guarantee ignition for this full range of gap sizes.

A circuit diagram of the automobile ignition circuit is shown in
the figure. Consider the circuit characteristics that provide the
energy to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder. First, the
maximum voltage available at the spark plug,
vsp, must be high enough to ignite the
fuel. Second, the voltage across the capacitor must be limited to
prevent arcing across the switch or distributor points. Third, the
current in the primary winding of the autotransformer must cause
sufficient energy to...
