Kinetic Theory of Plasmas

The Kinetic Theory of Plasmas is like a detailed rulebook for how electrically charged gases, or plasmas, behave. We know there are many particles all moving in different ways, and this theory helps us predict their motion and interactions. It's particularly important because plasmas make up things like stars and lightning, and are used in many technologies like neon signs and plasma TVs. To understand these, we need the in-depth knowledge this theory provides about these fast, charged particles.
