How does a van de graff generator discharge

A "Van de Graaff generator" is a device that has been designed to produce static electricity. The van de graff generator works on the principle of "electrostatic induction", due to which electrostatic potential is constant at any other point throughout the conductor.

It is also observed that van de graff discharge takes place in air or gases which are readily pointed at the conductors. Discharge occurs in the air because most of the static charges get removed by the gases present in the air.

answer

the arrows to the right of earth should point up.

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
