Plasma Confinement Equilibrium

Plasma Confinement Equilibrium is a theoretical framework within plasma physics that describes the self-consistent, steady-state configuration of a magnetized plasma in which the confining electromagnetic forces are balanced by the plasma pressure gradient and collective forces, enabling sustained equilibrium without net displacement or dissipation over time.
