When an alternating potential difference is applied across
two conductors such that the spacing between the two is
large as comnpared to the spacing between the two , then an
electrostatic stress is set up , which gradually builds up
to make and makes the air around the conductor conducting ,
if he potential difference is increased to the extent that
exceeds the visual critical limit then comlete breakdown of
air takes place , and is accompanied by faint luminous glow
of violet colour , production of ozone gas , and hissing
noise .
DISADVANTAGES : 1. There is a definite los of power .
2. The corona current is non sinusoidal and hence causes
some disturbance to the neigbouring communication lines .
3. The ozone gas produced reacts with the conductor and
corrodes it .
ADVANTAGES : As the air becomes conducting so there is a
virtual increase in diameter of the conductor and henc
decreases the resistance.
2. It acts as a safety valve for neutralizing lightning
surges and overvoltages caused ddue to other transients .

There is no such thing as a Generator. All power generating devices are Alternator since both generate alternating current since this is the only way electrical power can be generated. In "generators" the alternating current is converted into DC inside the housing of the "generator" in order to give out DC Do you agree? If not please educate me. How else is DC generated if not like above?
