Plasma Interaction

Plasma interaction refers to how charged particles in plasma—an ionized state of matter with free electrons and ions—respond to and influence electromagnetic fields and other particles. In practical terms, this means plasma can conduct electricity, generate magnetic fields, and emit light. These interactions are fundamental in natural phenomena like auroras and lightning, as well as in technological applications such as plasma TVs, fusion energy research, and spacecraft propulsion. Understanding plasma interaction helps scientists control and harness plasma's unique properties for various uses, by studying how its particles move, collide, and respond to forces.
