The process by which the electrons can come out of the metal in a spark plug is:
Show Hint
- field emission
- ionic emission
- secondary emission
- thermionic emission
- photoelectric emission
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
This type of emission occurs when a strong electric field is applied, causing the electrons in the metal to be pulled away from the surface without needing thermal excitation.
