Plasma forms when a gas is energized to the point that its atoms lose electrons, resulting in a collection of charged particles, including ions and free electrons. This process can occur through high temperatures, such as in stars, or through strong electric fields, as seen in fluorescent lights. The energy input overcomes the binding energy of the electrons, allowing them to separate from the nuclei. As a result, plasma exhibits unique properties, including electrical conductivity and responsiveness to magnetic fields.
