newQuestion What is the lowest density of a plasma that could be sustained in a reactor whose smallest dimension is 5 cm, at an electron temperature of 1 eV?
newAnswer The lowest density of a plasma that could be sustained is approximately \(10^{12} \, \text{cm}^{-3}\) at 1 eV.
newQuestion How would that density change for an electron temperature of 10 eV?
newAnswer At an electron temperature of 10 eV, the lowest density would decrease to approximately \(10^{11} \, \text{cm}^{-3}\).
