The complexity of the [[TJ-II]] magnetic field is patent from the following | The complexity of the [[TJ-II]] magnetic field is patent from the following examples, in which a magnetic field property is mapped onto the last closed [[Flux surface|flux surface]] (configuration 100_44_64). The influence of the [[TJ-II:Coil system|toroidal field coils]] is clearly visible (there are 32 toroidal field coils, leading to the striped pattern), as well as that of the [[TJ-II:Coil system|circular/helical coils]] (continuous red stripe in the toroidal direction in the first two figures below). | ||

Positive values of κ<sub>N</sub> are regions where curvature-driven modes are expected to be stable (note that this figure corresponds to the ''vacuum'' magnetic field -without plasma- so that strictly speaking it is not correct to speak about plasma stability). | |||
