Plasma State

Plasma is a state of matter like solids, liquids, and gases. It occurs when a gas is energized enough that its atoms lose electrons, creating a mixture of free electrons and ions. This ionized state conducts electricity and responds strongly to magnetic and electric fields. Found naturally in phenomena such as lightning, the sun, and stars, plasma is also used in neon lights, plasma TVs, and fusion research. It’s unique because it exhibits behaviors influenced by electric and magnetic forces, making it essential in both natural and technological processes.
