Abstract

In this chapter, the generation of plasma by gaseous electrical discharge will be discussed. Townsend Theory of electrical breakdown of gases will be explained. Various types of discharge, including to corona discharge, glow discharge and arc discharge and the characteristics of the plasmas produced will be introduced. The electrical power sources used for the generation of these plasma including DC, AC, RF, microwave and pulsed capacitor discharge are introduced.
