   I put the plug in my pocket then half the time, I have to follow the wire to remember where I put it.

   Yeah, I’m that cool.

   300V is the minimum generally accepted breakdown voltage for atmosphere. That means that below that, the wires have to touch. In practice it’s much higher then that for any “real world” application, but 300V is the generally accepted line.

    300V is the breakdown voltage of air…. :-D The thing is, you don’t mention the distance. per inch? per cm? per attometer?
