plasma parameters

Plasma parameters are measurements that describe the properties of plasma, a state of matter like gas but with charged particles. Key parameters include electron temperature, which indicates how energetic electrons are; plasma density, showing how many charged particles are present per volume; and magnetic field strength, influencing how particles move within the plasma. These parameters help scientists understand plasma behavior in various environments, from stars and space to fusion reactors and industry. They provide essential insights into the temperature, stability, and interactions of plasma, allowing for better control and utilization of this dynamic state of matter.
