SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the performance of plasma globes under varying current power levels. Three plasma globes are compared: one with low current power, one with medium current power, and one with strong current power, all operating at the same gas pressure. It is established that the plasma globe with strong current power will produce the most light and plasma, while the low current globe will generate fewer plasma lines and less illumination. Operating at excessively high voltage risks damaging the device, resulting in no light output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of plasma physics
  • Knowledge of electrical current and voltage concepts
  • Familiarity with plasma globe technology
  • Basic principles of gas pressure and its effects on plasma behavior
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the electrical characteristics of plasma globes
  • Explore the relationship between voltage and plasma formation
  • Learn about the safety limits for operating plasma devices
  • Investigate different gas mixtures used in plasma globes
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, physics students, and anyone interested in the operation and effects of plasma globes in various electrical conditions.

if we have 3  plasma ball.and they have the same pressure gas ...one have low current power .the scond have  middle current power .the third have strong current power .. ...so which will of them produce ...light ..plasma ...spark..

Plasma ball of what?
What is a "low energy current"?

Your question is very vague.
 
I mean when the plasma ball produce illuminate light. ..if we increase the power current or if we decrease it

Do you mean "plasma globe"?

If you operate them at a lower voltage, they will have fewer plasma "lines", or do not operate at all, so you get a lower amount of light.
If the voltage gets too high, the devices will break, then you don't have light at all (apart from a very short flash, maybe).
