Plasma can't have a net overall charge, either positive or negative. If it did, it would blow itself apart, because the electromagnetic force is many orders of magnitude greater than the gravitational force.

What is the total charge on plasma?

Usually, the total charge of plasma is neutral. Of course, there are exceptions. As the atoms are energized, electrons are released into the system. That release leaves a bunch of positive and negative charges.


Is plasma total charge positive or negative?

Just like any material, it may, or may not, be electrically neutral. What makes it a plasma is that many of its atoms are ionized - but of course the ionization process produces both positive and negative charges (the positive ions, and the electrons). If the original gas had a zero net charge, then (due to the law of conservation of charge) the resulting plasma will also have a zero net charge.


Do Plasma's have a net negative charge?

No. Plasmas are generally neutral just like other states of matter.


Is plasma a gas with electric charge?

yes plasma is a gas with an electrical charge


What is the total charge of plasma?

Plasma is considered to be the fourth state of matter with solid, liquid, and gas being the first three. Plasma is obtained only at extreme temperatures. It is basically a mixture of atoms, electrons, and ions.

What is the negative charge in atoms?

Electrons have an electrical negative charge.


What is and what kind of ionic charge does plasma have?

Plasma is a state of matter which exists at really high temperatures. Plasma gas is a mixture of ions, electrons and atoms. The other three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.


What charge electron charge positive or negative?

Electrons carry a negative charge to balance out the positive charge of the proton.
