The fundamental plasma parameters ofin a plasma in [[thermodynamicsteady equilibriumstate]] are

* the [[number density]] <math>n_s</math> of each particle species <math>s</math> present in the plasma,

* the [[temperature]] <math>T_s</math> of each species,

* the [[mass]] <math>m_s</math> of each species,

* the [[electric charge|charge]] <math>q_s</math> of each species,

* and the [[steady-state]] [[magnetic flux density]] <math>B</math>.

Using these parameters and [[physical constant]]s, other plasma parameters can be derived.
