WHAT IS PLASMA? A plasma is an ionised gas. It shares many properties with gas, but the presence of free electric charges allows the plasma to respond to.
2.1 (25 points) Consider a spatially uniform plasma composed of one ion species with charge e and mass mi and electrons with charge −e and mass me.
Consider a slab of neutral plasma of concentration n0 and thickness L. The ions are displaced by xi in the +ˆx direction whilst the electrons are displaced ...
