Abstract
In the present work, we develop the thermodynamics of a dusty plasma and give an equation of state for two cases: (a) when the dust forms a stationary background and the charge on the grain does not vary and (b) when the dust charge fluctuates either due to the fluctuations in the electron and ion number densities or due to the dust density variation. Application of the results to the various space plasma situations has been indicated.
