what is plasma energy

Plasma energy refers to the energy contained within a plasma, which is a state of matter that is similar to a gas but is made up of charged particles such as ions and electrons). Plasma temperature is a measure of the thermal kinetic energy per particle, and high temperatures are usually needed to sustain ionization, which is a defining feature of a plasma). Plasma is often called "the fourth state of matter," along with solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is characterized by a high electrical conductivity and is chemically very reactive, which means it can interact with surfaces, liquids, or microorganisms. Plasma is generated when energy is added to a gas, and there are several means for its generation). Plasma has many uses, including in fusion energy, lighting, and industrial processes such as surface modification and plasma pretreatment.
