The primary use of plasma is to emit light on computer displays with electrical exciataion. Other uses include sputtering molecular coatings and hopefully electrical generation. you can see the effects of plasma, because its what produces light from the sun

∙ 15y ago; Plasma : A fourth state of matter -- not a solid, liquid or gas. In a plasma, the electrons are pulled free from the atoms and can move independently. The individual atoms are charged, even though the total number of positive and negative charges is equal, maintaining an overall electrical neutrality. It is the fourth state of matter.

What is the definition of matter in science?
Matter is potential energy under the influence of gravitation that possesses inertia. Its basic constituents are particles, atoms, and molecules. Matter exists in four basic states as a solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
Which state uses the most water for irrigation?
California
What work uses scientific methods?
Investigating any physical phenomena, acquiring new knowledge about matter and correcting & integrating such previous knowledge.
Is a cup of coffee heterogeneous or homogeneous?
A cup of coffee is a homogeneous mixture. No matter what one uses to sweeten or lighten it, the coffee is the same in every sip.
What is domestic waste water?
Domestic waste water is any waste water that is produced by ordinary living uses. This includes liquid waste containing vegetable or animal matter.
Plasma is the super heated gas and 4th state of matter Is it exists in plasma TV?
Yes it does, contained within tiny glass tubes, just like a neon light, which also uses plasma.Although plasma is the fourth state of matter, as the question suggests, it is not necessarily at a high temperature. A plasma can be formed by a low pressure gas that is subjected to an electrical charge. It is this principle that is employed to generate light in fluorescent lamps, neon signs and indeed, the plasma television.
Do you have to refill plasma TVs?
Yes. Due to the fact that they are based on fluorescent (probably spelled that wrong) lighting. Fluorescent lighting uses large amounts of electricity to excite gaseous atoms into plasma, the fourth state of matter where electrons fly free from their nucleus, thus plasma tv's have plasma
Is anti-matter a state of matter?
Not as such, no. Antimatter is just matter that is charged backwards from what we think of as "normal" matter. it can be a solid, liquid, gas or plasma just like normal matter. the only difference is that antimatter uses positrons and anti-protons instead of electrons and protons to create an atom.
What is a plasma thruster or a plasma thruster engine and how does it work?
A plasma thruster is any thruster that uses plasma to provide thrust, hence the name. They are usually used on spacecrafts to push the craft into the right orbit. Plasma is the fourth state of matter. It is VERY hot and can be pressurized and can be controlled easily using electrodes and electromagnets. So, it's pretty useful for thrusters. The gas that will be turned into a plasma goes into a chamber. The gas is then turned into plasma by either direct current, radio waves or microwaves. Plasma can also be made by heat, but it would have to be really hot and would be very inefficient. The plasma is then contained by electromagnets. The plasma is sometimes heated even further to be more pressurized and provide more thrust. Then the plasma is made to shoot out in a steadyoutwardway by using electrodes or magnets. And, that's how plasma thrusters work.
What are facts about plasma?
Plasma is that state of matter where the matter is totally ionized in the form of ions and electrons, and there is no interaction between the ions or electrons at such high temperatures. For an ionic state to occur in nature, a high amount of energy is needed, but in some cases, it can be low. Plasma is the most common state of matter in the universe. Examples of plasma include solar wind, lightning, the gases in neon signs, welding arcs, interstellar gas clouds and the tails of comets. Over 99% of the matter in the visible universe is believed to be plasma. Plasma is a better conductor of electricity than copper. Stars (including the Sun) are mostly made of plasma. Plasma is usually very hot because it takes very high temperatures to break the bonds between electrons and the nuclei of the atoms. On earth lightning and aurora make plasma. Artificial (man-made) uses of plasma include fluorescent lightbulbs, neon signs, and plasma displays used for television or computer screens. Scientists are experimenting with plasma to make a new kind of nuclear power, called fusion, which would be much better and safer than ordinary nuclear power, and would produce much less radioactive waste.

What hormone has a decrease in plasma calcium is the stimulus for its release?
The Parathyroid hormone has a decrease in plasma calcium. It uses a Pentagastrin as stimulation for its release.
What does plasma have to do with a plasma TV?
A plasma panel is a layered device. It is comprised of millions of cells each lined with a red, blue or green phosphor, much like a CRT is coated with the same color phosphor dots. Each cell is filled with a gas and wired to a computer chip that tells it when it needs to light. When the gas is electrified it causes a plasma gas discharge that emits ultraviolet light. That in turn causes the phosphor to glow its color. The complete pattern is scanned in lines from top to bottom in a 60th of a second. (Therefore twice in a 30th of a second which is the time it takes for your eye to comprehend and register any image).
