GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A plasma is an electrically charged gas. In a plasma, some electrons have been stripped away from their atoms. Because the particles (electrons and ions) in a plasma have an electrical charge, the motions and behaviors of plasmas are affected by electrical and magnetic fields.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasma is often called “the fourth state of matter, ‘’ along with solid, liquid and gas. Just as a liquid will boil, changing into a gas when energy is added, heating a gas will form a plasma – a soup of positively charged particles (ions) and negatively charged particles (electrons).

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma is a form of matter in which many of the electrons wander around freely among the nuclei of the atoms. Plasma has been called the fourth state of matter, the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Normally, the electrons in a solid, liquid, or gaseous sample of matter stay with the same atomic nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma makes up the sun and stars, and it is the most common state of matter in the universe as a whole. (Blood plasma, by the way, is something completely different. It is the liquid portion of blood. It is 92 percent water and constitutes 55 percent of blood volume, according to the American Red Cross.)

Detailed explanation-5: -Plasma is a state of matter that is often thought of as a subset of gases, but the two states behave very differently. Like gases, plasmas have no fixed shape or volume, and are less dense than solids or liquids.
