No. Actually the most known is the spark discharge which for a very short period of time joints or bridges two bodies. However also exists as the corona discharge where a spark jumps a sharp edge shape of the charged body by breaking the surrounding air or gas and actually never reaches the other body and produces a luminescent effect, this occurs in a non uniform static field and the discharge is in the microamps range.
