Yes it is, but the spark contains 0.00045 amp-seconds of electrons. It means that if you distributed the flow of electrons that's contained in that spark over 1 second and measured it with an ammeter you would read 0.00045 amps.
1 Amp second is defined as 1 coulomb of charge moving past a given point over 1 second of time.
1 farad is defined as 1 coulomb stored in a capacitor at 1 volt. (C = q / V)
So if a 1 farad capacitor is fully charged to 1 volt, as it discharges it's average voltage is half the peek voltage which is 0.5 V, We know that 1 coulomb of charge is being delivered so we can plug that into the calculator P = I * V = 1 A/S * 0.5 V = 0.5 Watts/seconds.
A farad is just a rating of how many coulombs a capacitor will store if you charge it up to 1 volt.
Take that same 1 farad capacitor and, physics permitting, charge it to 450 kilovolts and it would hold 450 kilo-amp seconds (125 amp hours) worth of electrons.
