    Err, a voltaic arc?

Arc \Arc\ ([aum]rk), v. i. [imp. & p. p. Arcked ([aum]rkt); p. pr. & vb. n.
Arcking.] (Elec.) To form a voltaic arc, as an electrical current in a
broken or disconnected circuit.

    This is just a reach, but I think thats what they are called.  I seem to
remember another name for the effect, though, but it escapes me..
