You need to be more specific. Are you refering to biology and plasma as in blood, or physics and plasma as a state of energy?

Plasma is the supernatant fluid after non coagulated blood has been centrifuged. It is clearer than serum because it has fibrinogen in it, while serum does not. It is a type of blood specimen usually used in blood laboratory testing if serum ( fluid of coagulated blood) is not available. Plasma comprises 55 % of whole blood, the 45 % are the cellular elements.
