What is Plasma?

Plasma is a state of matter in which a gas becomes ionized and carries an electrical charge. It is often described as the fourth state of matter, distinct from solid, liquid, and gas. In plasma, electrons are stripped from atoms, forming an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons. Because of these free charged particles, plasma is electrically conductive and responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma is used in various applications, including plasma displays (televisions), industrial processes (surface treatment, etching), research (fusion energy), and medical applications (sterilization).
