A plasma can be contained in a "magnetic bottle" because it has which of the following properties?
A)high temperature
B)liquid in form
C)made of charged particles
D)made of light elements

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A plasma is a gas in which some or all of the atoms have been ionized, meaning that they have lost or gained one or more electrons and become charged particles. Because of their electric charge, plasma particles can be controlled and contained by magnetic fields, which is why a magnetic bottle can be used to hold a plasma in place. Neither high temperature nor low temperature is a determining factor in being able to contain a plasma in a magnetic bottle. The plasma does not have a liquid form and being made of light elements is not necessarily a determining factor in its containment.
