Breakdown voltage between two parallel plates
Breakdown voltage between two parallel plates
(OP)
Is there a source / formula that determines at what voltage a charge will jump the gap between two parallel plates that are brought sufficiently close to each other? Does plate material come into play? (316SS vs 304SS vs Hastelloy C)? What if the plates are submerged in an electrolyte vs in open air or in a Nitrogen environment?

I'm not sure about the electrolyte since this formula deals with breakdown in gases and I don't believe it will address the electrolyte case.
