Magnetic field in a toroidal plasma confinement system in which the field lines form a set of nested contours perpendicular to the major circumference of the torus. 3, record 1, English, - poloidal%20magnetic%20field
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In this scheme [the Tokamak fusion reactor], an electric current is induced along the plasma column, flowing the long way around the torus. The associated poloidal magnetic field (which has lines of force going around the minor cross section of the torus) gives rise to helical field lines, which form a set of nested magnetic surfaces. 2, record 1, English, - poloidal%20magnetic%20field
