''φ'' is called the ''toroidal angle'' (and not the ''cylindrical'' angle, at least not in the context of magnetic confinement).  | ''φ'' is called the ''toroidal angle'' (and not the ''cylindrical'' angle, at least not in the context of magnetic confinement).  | ||
Cylindrical symmetry (symmetry under rotation over φ) is referred to as ''axisymmetry''.  | |||
