Why Cold Plasma at Room Temperature Can Also Be Fully Ionized: The 4-Temperatures Answer
Two viewers (one on YouTube, one on LinkedIn) asked closely related questions about the relationship between ionization degree and plasma temperature. Time for a slightly deeper dive than usual. The answer requires realizing there isn't one temperature. There are four.
