No they are NOT, aside from emp pules weapons ONLY OTHER WEAPON to cause EMP are Nukes. Plasma the gas IS super heated. Electrons ARE NOT RIPPED FROM ATOMS, HEAT CAUSES THE MOLECULES TO MOVE FASTER, DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ATOMS. Electrical flow is controlled through flemings "left hand rule" and along ferriday's em field lines of force. Electricity is the result of an electron CURRENT flowing atom to atom in the left hand rule direction along the em field's lines of force. Electrons that are SWAPED are the open orbit electrons that are swappable (NOT ALL electrons orbiting an atom can be swapped, only certain ones in certain orbits).
