OverviewThe fourth state of matter, known to physicists as plasma, is a fluid of electrically charged particles, often at very high temperatures. It is the matter that stars are made of and, at one time, in the early universe, it was the state in which all matter was found. It occurs on the earth as lightning discharges and, more prosaically, in fluorescent tubes. Research into plasma physics may lead to a supply of energy for the needs of mankind. This book provides an overview of plasma physics for those starting out in their understanding of it. It is intended for scientists and lay readers alike.
