Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only! Grab it Explore an in-depth lecture on plasma physics and its environmental applications delivered by Prof. Subroto Mukherjee as part of RRI's Vignyana Kathegalu science talk series. Learn about plasma, the fourth state of matter, and understand its composition of ions, electrons, and neutrals as a quasi-neutral substance governed by electric and magnetic fields. Discover how low-temperature plasmas serve as powerful heat sources for waste treatment and surface modification, with electron temperatures reaching several eV while maintaining lower ion and neutral temperatures. Gain insights into international collaboration projects like the ITER tokamak in France, where India participates as a full partner alongside six other nations. Master the fundamentals of plasma's unique properties as an excellent electrical conductor and its distinctive collective behaviors, while understanding its crucial role in developing environmentally friendly technologies and applications.
