Arc Discharge Plasma
Arc discharge plasma is a type of high-temperature ionized gas created by passing a strong electric current through a gap between two electrodes. This intense electrical energy causes the gas to become ionized, meaning its atoms lose electrons and transform into a conductive plasma state. The resulting plasma is extremely hot and luminous, capable of conducting electricity and generating intense heat. Arc discharges are used in welding, torch heating, and plasma arc lamps, harnessing the high energy and temperature of the ionized gases for industrial and scientific applications.
