Toroidal Magnetic Field

The term 'Toroidal Magnetic Field' as it applies to the area of fusion can be defined as 'The principal magnetic field in a tokamak. The field lines travel around the axis of the tokamak. This magnetic field, however, is not sufficient by itself to contain the plasma. The magnetic field produced by the plasma current itself and other smaller stabilizing magnetic fields are all needed for confining the plasma'.
