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

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.


What is the difference between plasma the state of matter and plasma tv?

Plasma as a state of matter refers to a hot, ionized gas consisting of free electrons and positive ions. On the other hand, a plasma TV is a type of television screen that uses small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases to produce images. The two are not directly related, as one refers to a physical state of matter while the other is a technology for displaying images.


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


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.

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 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.


Can anyone tell me about Ion propelled rockets?

Ion propelled rockets use the noble gas Xenon. It is used as plasma, which is the fourth state of matter. Since plasma is found everywhere on the planet, refueling is quite simple. Electric energy must be used for this, instead of chemical.
