Assuming we have an ideal parallel-plate capacitor, the potential
difference goes through the roof as you separate the plates, but the
electric field does not. So I'm not sure a corona discharge must
occur.
Does the dissectable capacitor effect occur in the parallel plate
capacitor? Bill's mechanism sounds very plausible to me, and I've
only performed the demo with a cylindrical capacitor.
