Abstract

The motion of electrons and ions in the self-consistent fields of a compact toroidal equilibrium maintained by means of a rotating magnetic field is studied. It is found that the particles are confined although the lines of the instantaneous magnetic field are open. The results are compared with those obtained in an earlier study of the motion of charged particles in the self-consistent fields appropriate to cylindrical plasma equilibrium maintained by means of rotating magnetic fields.
