plasma
Definition
partly or wholly ionised gas whose particles exhibit collective response to magnetic or electric fieldsNotes
- NOTE The collective motion is brought about by the electrostatic Coulomb force between charged particles. This causes the particles to rearrange themselves to counteract electric fields within a distance of the order of the Debye length. On spatial scales larger than the Debye length plasmas are electrically neutral.
