SUMMARY
The temperature of plasma is determined primarily by the energy input rather than the quantity of plasma present. This conclusion is supported by the principles of thermodynamics and plasma physics, which indicate that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. Therefore, increasing the energy supplied to the plasma will raise its temperature, regardless of its volume.
