Plasma the forth state of matter


In our school years we have learned that matter exists in three forms: liquid, solid and gaseous. Only a few of us who have studied the subject of physics, discovered that in nature there is a fourth form of matter in which the universe is full. This fourth form of matter called "plasma". According to scientific studies, this "unknown" form of matter is 99% of the known universe. We can see this type of material in our daily lives, in fluorescent bulbs to plasma TVs, in some types of flame in games such as "plasma balls" and even the Giver of Life Sun, it is nothing other than a huge hot plasma sphere.

Unlike gases, plasma is a good conductor of electricity. Due to the electrically charged particles that make up the plasma behaves differently from a gas, for example, when applied in this electromagnetic field. So the volume and shape is determined significantly by applied electric and magnetic fields (of which usually is created).

The production of plasma by applying an electric field has important technological applications as technological processes hitherto made using non-ionized gas at high temperatures can now be made using plasma at lower temperatures. The economic benefit is obvious, and spent less energy. Also unattainable processes involving gases are technically possible using plasma
