The Department of Energy recommends having your tank-based hot water heater set to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for most people, but if youâve never adjusted the temperature on your hot water heater, itâs probably set to 140 degrees, which is the default setting from most manufacturers.
Plasma is a state of matter in which all matter is ionized and it occurs in the form of ions and electrons. Since, we know that for the ionization of the element or matter to occur energy is required to pull the electron from the attraction of the nuclear charge, high energy is required.
Most of the matter in the universe is found in the plasma state. That is because stars contain so much of the matter in the universe (stars are so hot that their matter can only exist in the plasma state). Last modified January 22, 2001 by Jennifer Bergman.
