The characterization of electrical power distribution in an atmospheric pressure plasma jet operated at six different frequencies is investigated by measurement of input power and voltage-charge plots for the core plasma and the plasma in the effluent. The frequency change is further characterized by measuring the temperature in the effluent at different positions and input power levels. The power input into the core plasma is limited to about 1 W for a wide range of frequencies while the total input power and thus the power input into the effluent increases continuously with frequency.
