One piece of equipment associated with these substances measures the electron energy distribution function and is called a Langmuir probe.
One piece of equipment associated with these substances measures the electron energy distribution function and is called a Langmuir probe. Another piece of equipment uses a toroidal magnetic field to confine these substances. This type of substance is created at high (*) temperatures when electrons gain enough kinetic energy to escape the pull of the nucleus. For 10 points, name this type of substance that makes up stars such as the Sun, and which is an ionized gas commonly known as the fourth state of matter.
