Similarity of Neutron Star and Plasma |
|
Answer» Plasma is an electrically neutral medium of unbound positive and NEGATIVE particles (i.e. the overall charge of a plasma is roughly zero). It is IMPORTANT to note that although the particles are unbound, they are not ‘free’ in the sense of not experiencing forces. When a charged particle moves, it generates an electric current with magnetic FIELDS; in plasma, the movement of a charged particle affects and is affected by the general field created by the movement of other charges. |
