Magnetohydrodynamics is a model of electrically conducting fluids that treats all types of charged particles together as a single continuous fluid. It is primarily concerned with the low-frequency, la

Plasma is a state of matter that results from one of the other three classical states having undergone an appreciable degree of ionization. It thus consists of a significant portion of charged particl

…types of charged particles together as a single continuous fluid. It is primarily concerned with the low-frequency, large-scale magnetic behavior of plasmas and liquid metals and has applications in multiple fields, including space physics, geophysics, astrophysics, and engineering.

Lightning as an example of plasma present at Earth's surface: Typically, lightning discharges 30 kiloamperes at up to 100 megavolts, and emits radio waves, light, X- and even gamma rays. Plasma temperatures can approach 30000 K and electron densities may exceed 1024 m−3.
