Pulling electrons out of a metal with a very strong electric field, as in a spark plug, is
AThermionic emission
BField emission
CSecondary emission
DPhoto emission
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Field emission
A field of the order of 10^8 V/m can pull electrons out of a metal, which is field emission.
