ya its very simple.

Due to the high potential, there is a greater electric field developed around the conductors. This field ionizes the air present around the conductors. Due to the air to being ionized, the current wants to flow around it. So the sparking occurs. Which is actually the form of current.

How many voltage will pass through the high tension line?

It depends on the line, but AC high tension lines are typically between 100kV to 750kV while some DC high tension lines are as high a 1MV.Another AnswerVoltage doesn't 'pass through' a line. It appears between, or across, adjacent conductors. It's CURRENT that 'passes through' a line.
