How it's used
Scientific terminology like this is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless discussing physics or technology. When people talk about plasma in a non-academic context, they are often referring to plasma televisions or specific industrial applications. It is a loan-translation term that follows the standard scientific nomenclature used in formal education.
Examples
It turns out there is plasma inside flames too.
Do you know how plasma is formed?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the medical term for blood plasma, which is 血漿. Using 電漿 to refer to the liquid component of blood will cause confusion.
