ya that may work....capacitance is R/k (where r is radius and k is inverse of 4pi.ep.)

and potential is Q/C...

C is of the order 10^-11 and Q is of the order 1

so potential is of order 10^11...and ionising potential of air is approx. 10^6 V...so air will be ionoised and some charge will be neutralised...
