Toroidal Confinement

Toroidal Confinement is a magnetic confinement configuration in plasma physics where charged particles are confined within a torus-shaped field geometry, distinguished from other configurations by its closed, axisymmetric magnetic topology designed to minimize particle drift and enhance plasma stability.
