How strong are the forces holding plasma together?

Plasma is a state of matter composed of charged particles, including ions and free electrons, which are not held together by traditional forces like those in solids or liquids. Instead, the behavior of plasma is largely governed by electromagnetic forces, as the charged particles interact with one another through electric and magnetic fields. These forces can be strong in certain conditions, such as within stars, where high temperatures and densities lead to significant electromagnetic interactions. However, in general, the forces in plasma are much weaker than the nuclear forces that hold atomic nuclei together.
