What is the impeadence of IONIZED air

Thread locked. Agnostic warned for multiple posts. And I'll try to add something useful to Agnostic's OP in the General Physics forum.

The impedance of air is a measure of its resistance to the flow of electrical current. It is typically represented by the symbol "Z" and is measured in ohms (Ω). The impedance of air is generally considered to be very high, as air is a good insulator and does not allow electricity to pass through easily.

The impedance of ionized air, on the other hand, can vary depending on the degree of ionization. Ionized air is air that has been charged with ions, which are atoms or molecules with an unequal number of protons and electrons. This can happen in various ways, such as exposure to high levels of radiation or by passing electricity through the air.

In general, the impedance of ionized air is lower than that of regular air due to the presence of charged particles. This means that ionized air is more conductive and allows electricity to flow more easily. The exact impedance of ionized air can vary depending on factors such as the concentration of ions and the type of ions present.

In summary, the impedance of air is high, while the impedance of ionized air is lower due to the presence of charged particles.
