Actually a lot more to get a spark to jump the gap - just about 75,000 volts per inch (3000 volts per milimeter). You can sustain an arc with less once you have ionized the air in the gap, but it takes a bunch to get it going.

I always fill my kettle with cold water because i read there's critters in the warm water pipes.
