electricuwe, In general this kind of plasma is called a "Dielectric Barrier Discharge". If you type this in google with "pdf" you will get lot of pdf articles about this. The setup is composed of a function generator, an audio amplifier, a HV step-up transformer and two...

By the way the frequency of the applied voltage is 35kHz.

Thanks IRSTUFF. The Capacitance of the plasma is about 100 PF while the Capacitance for measurement could be as follows : C= 222 nF ----> Max Power at 12kV = 60 W C= 1 microFarad ----> Max Power at 12kV = 150 W What appears to me strange is such a big difference in power only by changing the...

I've got the following problem : I have a plasma discharge between two capacitive electrodes (covered with glass as dielectric). In the literature it is suggested that for measureing the power dissipated in the plasma (plasma power), one should put a capacitor in serie with the capacitive plasma...
