A spark plug is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of some internal combustion engines and ignites compressed air and fuel by means of an electric spark. Spark plugs have an insulated center electrode which is connected by a heavily insulated wire to an ignition coil or magneto circuit on the outside, forming, with a grounded terminal on the base of the plug, a spark gap inside the cylinder.

Additions:
A spark plug is an electrical device that fits into the cylinder head of some internal combustion engines and ignites compressed air and fuel by means of an electric spark. Spark plugs have an insulated center electrode which is connected by a heavily insulated wire to an ignition coil or magneto circuit on the outside, forming, with a grounded terminal on the base of the plug, a spark gap inside the cylinder.
As the current of electrons surges across the gap of the spark plug, it raises the temperature of the spark channel to 60,000 K. The intense heat in the spark channel causes the ionized gas mixed with air to expand very quickly, like a small explosion however more known as a combustion. This is the "click" heard when observing a spark, similar to lightning and thunder. A new type of plug called a pulse plug released in 2007 incorporates a peaking capacitor into the plug itself that releases all its contents into the plug gap giving a much more intense spark.
>>{{source2}}>> ==''Normal Spark Plug Condition''==
Deletions:
The plug is connected to the high voltage generated by an ignition coil or magneto. As the electrons flow from the coil, a voltage difference develops between the center electrode and side electrode. No current can flow because the fuel and air in the gap is an insulator, but as the voltage rises further, it begins to change the structure of the gases between the electrodes. Once the voltage exceeds the dielectric strength of the gases, the gases become ionized. The ionized gas becomes a conductor and allow electrons to flow across the gap. Spark plugs usually require voltage in excess of 20,000 volts to 'fire' properly.
