1919 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 115 103 These results clearly establish the fact that the incendivity of a spark does not depend on the total energy of the spark.

1925 H. F. Coward & R. V. Wheeler Ignition of Firedamp 20 The ignition of firedamp by a spark the incendivity of which depends entirely on its capacity component.

1925 H. F. Coward & R. V. Wheeler Ignition of Firedamp 21 An increase in the inductance, or in the applied voltage, increases the incendivity of the flash.

1972 Physics Bull. Aug. 454/3 Later laboratory measurements..of the incendivity of spark discharges showed that if the uniform field strength in a tank roof space away from any protrusions was 500 kV m⁻¹, then brush discharges having sufficient energy to ignite an inflammable hydrocarbon-air mixture could occur at metal protrusions.
