Abstract
Some of the fundamental basic concepts useful for the understanding of plasma will be introduced and explained in this chapter. These include particle collision and the fundamental processes that may occur as a consequence of collision between particles, the concept of Debye shielding, plasma sheath formation at the surface of object placed inside plasma, particle oscillation. The criteria of plasma and the particle transport due to electric and magnetic fields as well as density gradient will be discussed briefly.
