\frac{\nabla V\times\mathbf{B}}{B^2} = -\frac{2\pi I_{pol}^d}{\langle B^2\rangle}\mathbf{e}_\theta + \frac{2\pi I_{tor}}{\langle B^2\rangle}\mathbf{e}_\phi~. | \frac{\nabla V\times\mathbf{B}}{B^2} = -\frac{2\pi I_{pol}^d}{\langle B^2\rangle}\mathbf{e}_\theta + \frac{2\pi I_{tor}}{\langle B^2\rangle}\mathbf{e}_\phi~. | ||

The above expressions adopt very simple forms for the 'vacuum' field, i.e. one with <math>\nabla\times\mathbf{B} = 0</math>. In this case <math>I_{tor} = 0</math> and <math>\tilde{\eta} = 0</math> leaving, e.g. | |||

In a [[Beta|low-<math>\beta</math>]] stellarator the equilibrium magnetic field is approximatelly given by the vauum value. | |||
