Therefore, it has the same status as [[Toroidal coordinates|axisymmetry]] in [[Tokamak|tokamaks]]. | |||
In a [[Toroidal coordinates|cylindrical coordinate system]], it is expressed as follows for a scalar field: | In a [[Toroidal coordinates|cylindrical coordinate system]], it is expressed as follows for a scalar field: | ||
