In this lesson, you will learn what a plasma is and why it is called the fourth state of matter. A plasma is simply a gas that has been given additional energy such that many electrons are removed from the outer valence shell of the gas atoms. The result is a combination of positively charged gas nuclei and negatively charged electrons, along with some remaining fraction of neutral gas atoms. Because of the charges present, a plasma can be thought of as a gas that conducts electricity. Plasmas are all around us - for example lightning is the breakdown of gas molecules into a plasma state. A plasma ball is a low pressure gas that has been ionized into a plasma. The aurora is when the solar wind gets trapped in the Earth's magnetic field and ionizes the gas molecules in the upper atmosphere. The light that we see from a plasma is simply photons that are emitted when an electron recombines with a positive ion yielding a neutral gas atom.

This Gentleman is a Master of the Field!!!!! I am very happy of listening such an marvelous explanation without the hassles you find in a normal lesson inside a classroom. Some of the best minutes of my life spent listening to him!!!! Thanks for your Marvelous and Dedicated time and Knowledge for us, the public that watches your excellent videos!!!!!!
Passion for understanding + passion to communicate what has been understood = authentic teacher.
Watching your videos is a perfect use of time, no matter how long they are.
Thank you so much ♥️.
Glad you like them!
What would happen if the plasma has a left handed rotation? An electromagnetic field that was created by it through a negative refractive indexed meta materials. Since the energy has Blue shift with a left handed rotation, couldn’t this creat a new energy source if it is contained? This is just a thought.
Please sir, what do we mean by an atom is either positively charged or negatively charged. Is it that they're always charged in their natural state? Thanks.
@@emmanueligbilishi4834 No Most atoms are not charged because there is an equal number of protons(+) and electrons(-) So the total charge is balanced i.e zero. But if you strip an electron from the atom for example, it's total charge becomes positive because there are more protons than there are electrons. This is ionisation.
Perfect lesson. A learned more than I expected to. I understood things that were unclear to me. Now I have improved this idea of electromagnetic field and the electrons involvement around the atom. It was more than just learning about plasma. 🗣perfect ✍️✍️💚💚
Thank you I am very happy you liked it!
If only this gentleman teaching this lecture on Plasma was around when I was attending a science class, my whole world of education would have been better off with a better grade and perhaps have gone to study in the field of electronics! I love the way this instructor really gets into the actions of how those electrons are moved by the actions of other electrons.
Another example of plasma is a welder's arc. This is produced when an electric field is placed between two conductors and is strong enough to make the electrons jump across from one conductor to the other. The welder operator holds a rod close enough but not touching the other conductor to produce a jumping of electrons. This gap between the conductors is maintained in order to produce a plasma. The plasma develops a very high temperature and intense light. Welders use this high temperature to liquify metals so that they can be joined back together when cooled. The welder operators must shield their eyes from the intense light produced otherwise they could damage their eyes. That is also why we could damage our eyes if we look directly at the sun. Arc welding is a very useful and convenient process for connecting metallic objects and it employs plasma to do it.
Could please make a video on Bose-Einstein Condensate, sometimes known as fifth state of matter?
Yes that would be interesting! Thanks for the suggestion!
I had the same idea . I would love it .
Okay, okay you folks are very, very smart.
I was going to ask that question as well.
Excellent 👍
The world doesn't deserve you Jason. It's always great putting on one of your videos and learning. Thank you so much for what you do! :)
I appreciate that! Thank you so much.
You always make complex subjects easy to understand.
I would love a video on Tesla coil .
Thanks for the video n keep them coming .
Thanks, will do! Tesla coil is a great idea for future video. Thanks!
@@MathAndScience YES !!!!
Thank you !
My god you are so good, the best teacher in the world, I love your way of teaching, how clearly you express everything, what a great person you are.
The world should learn from you, shame on the education systems of this planet. But I like your videos that were slower better, no need to increase the speed, you are the BEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Awww thank you so much. I appreciate it!
This is easily one of the best educational videos i ever saw. So engaging and well explained! Good job!!!!
Bought your Algebra CDs years ago my fav tutor you are. Watch your videos for fun instead of ticktock junks.
brilliant details ....covers photon production, magnetic plasma and so much more..thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MathAndScience if the sun was 100% ionised it would be transparent...or black? apart for the re ionisation at the sound surface...is there another source of visible photons from the the sun?
the only guy to explain things properly and admit the atom is not how it is drawn ,,,best I have ever watched and has explained things so easy.best on here
Appreciate kind of extra details you tend to go into most things Science and Math topics. Interesting to know an ionized atom would need more energy to be dis-integrated subsequently after it has alread split first or 2nd or 3rd electron courtesy Ionization energy and/or Nucleus holding on to remiander of the electrons more tightly? Wonder if you shed more light? Thanks!
you've renewed some of my faith in humanity. i am very grateful to have found such a great teacher finally.
Incredible and informative lesson with a lot of interesting facts and good examples. Thank you very much, Jason.
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
Love It! Exactly what I needed to understand, in order to finish my work on quantum gravity, or The Complete Theory of The Universe and Life. Thanks!
Clear, passionate, cuuuute! I spent quite some time writing every single word into a document I will read over until I acquire this topic!. Thank you Jason 👍
An awesome presentation enabling understanding of a high order. Thank you for the clear, concise lesson.
I loved this lesson. How about a discussion on photon pumps used in gas lasers?
Excellent introduction to understanding what 'plasma' is. Thank you sir.
I'm super impressed with your presentation. Compact, informative and just with a good amount of details.
your UA-cam canal is magic.
Thank you, very informative and not too long. I’m an electrician and love expanding my knowledge, Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are too great your teaching just helped me finish high school
Are you going to make a video explaining the different waves in the atoms. You always say it’s not important, but I want to learn it. Ps, great videos, I learned a lot from them.
Thanks? These are the best vids on Internet! So much knowledge! Great!
Wait wait wait wait wait… 99%(or more) of the visible light that we humans experience, and see in the universe is plasma? How have I been able to coexist in SUCH an ignorant state before this?! I’m glad that I have to say the least… otherwise I would not have fallen upon this mind bending epiphany❤️
Great lecture.. thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have waited a long time for a description of plasma I could understand and why it is different than a gas . I am glad you stretched your lesson out to thirty minutes !
Thanks so much and I’m happy you enjoyed it!
Btw, you explained plasma VERY WELL! Ty! Now I understand why I can't buy a jar of nutronium.
Is it fair to say nutronium can only exist for long periods of time under ultra-GREAT pressures such as in the sun? Of course the sun is not nutronium but a plasma as the ions are mixed with electrons in a plasma.
awesome description!
Great lecture 👍🏻, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Bro! insightful yet deep.
Great video, I learned so much. You are a very good teacher. Thank you!
Amazing! It has taken 70 years to nail this problem. Thanks a million, now what do you know about sound and frequency? JohnC
Glad to help! And yes I will one day.
absolutely wonderful lecture. god bless you sir. out standing video
Just an amazing lecture! Thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Excellent presentation!
A wonderful presentation!
omg the first time i understand science idk how but thx i got 20 from 20 the first time in science thx for the good learning and it was a nice lesson.
Amazing, learned a lot about Plasma from this video. many thanks.
A brilliant simplifying a complicated physics phenomena, Rosie Hoy New Zealand
An excellent job teaching. Thank you
Thank you I love your classes very informative.
You are so welcome!
I keep coming back to this video, by far one of my fav videos that's sparks curiosity!!! Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always like your videos and your clear and elegant way to explain math and scientific phenomena. I will like to learn more on plasmas.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for your beautiful educational videos!
Glad you like them!
Excellent presentation. Such a difficult topic was explained graphically, which means that the presenter has a deep understanding of the topic.
It’s what angels are made of.
Thanks a lot! I have been waiting for this day.
You're welcome!
Fascinating lessons. Being a journeyman lineman, I can't help but think about my years of Rubber Gloving 21kv AC. And some of the giant arcs I've drawn with hot sticks. Wondering if these could be controlled with an induced magnetic field?
Thanks. Excellent teaching.
Glad it was helpful!
Plasma can be induced but in nature it is the 4th state of matter. I learned that in 2000 L.A. trade tech.
I read a sculpture in the bible that stated " They are made of flesh and bone , we are made of fire'' FIRE ? I think the angel WAS trying to say plasma......
Very illuminating.
Great work. Thanks
Wonderful teaching
Great content as always. You rock man!
Wow, good stuff! Kids often bring up plasma as a 4th state of matter and this will help me explain it a little better, Thanks!
Thank you. Very interesting and useful topic.
You are welcome!
Thanks for the content
My pleasure!
Wow. Great lecture.
Glad you liked it!
Bravo, got your DVDs too. You R a national treasure, keep on teycking
Thank you Very Much Jason.
What a brilliant mind you have...!!!
Sir, you are incredible! Thank you so much for your lessons....I am trying to absorb as much as I can from you.
Rock on!
Thank you very much for a very interesting explanation. It certainly taught me something.
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting and informative. I am able to visualize everything plasma.
Glad it was helpful!
I have so many questions. Light is information(to us) at least vis-a-vis the high energy transparent plasma. So in a way the electron has to inform space-time that it has 'settled in an orbit'. I apologise if it's not a very mathematical/physical way of looking at it.
GREAT VIDEO! BTW......Your math courses are much better than others on the internet! I'll be back to pick up where I left off.....
Thank you.
Wow! Nice lesson 👍 much respect 💕💕💕
Thank you! 😃
Great lecture, learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent dear speaker
This guy loves to teach, which makes me want to learn
Love this! Thanks so much!
Great lecture! You explained so much to me in under an hour. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
@@MathAndScience now if we only didn’t have so many science deniers… oh, what a wonderful world!
Thanks for the lectures. I got more than just plasma study. Magnetism was nailed as well. Never knew that gravitational force is the weakest. I thought it is Vana wall force.
Great teaching! I'm curious about your camera setup; could you explain how your camera mechanism works? Thanks!
Really enjoyed
This was INCRT!.. 💯⚡️👍🏾 Thank you.
3-year student of Jason, he is my distant council/mentor, i appreciate you, jason!
Awww thank you so much!
Excellent
Great video 😀 many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Thanks teacher.
before the lecture i thought i knew a little bit, after his lecture i realized i have been deluding myself. what a great teacher he is.
Thank you!
this is amazing!~
this is awesome information. Thank you, Math and Science Professor. Did you work with plasma propulsion systems involve the TR series triangle crafts? I have seen these crafts... they are magnificent.
No but I did work on plasma rocket engines for a while. Will do a video on that one day.
@@MathAndScience, that is fascinating! I would look forward to that video. I'd also be interested in any knowledge you might have on graphene oxide and how it can be used in bio-engineering, and if you have any ideas on how a human might be able to gain control over the electro-magnetic power of this biotech, considering that it can weaponize a body against itself, being that a body can be "hacked" once it has formed a "MAC address" and the mechanics can be remotely manipulated.....
Around 24:00 when you mention the fluorescent light hitting 11,000K, is that similar to the sun's corona achieving a million degrees Kelvin, but supposedly you could pass your hand through unharmed?
It was helpful you used the neon example; what elements are involved with other plasmas, like lightning, the plasma ball, welding, fluorescent lights, the auroras...?
Thank you so much.
Love it 🙌
You are absolutly amazing !!!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much!!!
Best of the best!
What about the dust proportion in all things matter and/or Plasma, Would that be according to you , only very very very tiny fraction of All matter? Thought it is the other way around?
I found this video to be very useful. It de mystifies plasma.
I have a question. Let’s say I have a long pipe, I attach a plasma torch on one end and leave the other end open. If using the plasma torch I create plasma using steam or nitrogen, what happens to the plasma as to move along the length of the pipe?
WHAT TYPE OF CURRENT DOES THE RIGHT HAND RULE USE OR INDICATE ELECTRON FLOW OR CONVENTIONAL CURRENT FLOW?
since plasmas can let be directed by a magnetic field (atleast from what i understand from the video), can magnetic field be used to make basically a "straight beam" of plasma?
sorry if it's a stupid question it's just that i got really curios with it and if anyone could help me with the answer i'd be really thankful!
I like these explanation videos.
Could you do one on how plasma cutting works.
Many of the explanations just say the heat of the pasma melts the metal but I suspect there may be a chemical reaction taking place like in Oxy/Acetylene cutting where the metal oxidises.
I am curious about what happens at the molecular level with plasma cutting.
Great idea!
One afternoon I went upstairs to get something and got really scared as in the bedroom doorway there was a human shape being, made of plasma, I would now say!! It looked like the surface of the Sun and didn't have any discernible human features but very defined shape of a human!!
What was it, professor?
I got " fused" to the floor as it had scared me so much.
My husband saw it downstairs!
I'd welcome any ideas what this plasma thing was.
I do realise it's maybe outside your field but it was definitely made of plasma.
Thank you.
FUNTASTIC!
I wonder how much voltage you would have to add to a neon light to get the tube to melt? :) and at what percentage of neon atoms would this mean were ionized? I wish I were a scientist sometimes and not a design-build contractor :)
Those are actually great questions, and I don’t know the answer!
