  "term": "Arch",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A sustained electrical discharge that creates a plasma channel between two electrodes, producing intense light and heat. An arc forms when a gas, such as air, becomes ionized, allowing current to flow across a gap that would otherwise be an insulator. This phenomenon is applied in electric arc welding, arc furnaces for melting metals, and arc lamps for high-intensity lighting, with temperatures reaching several thousand degrees Celsius.",
