* ''R'' = ''R<sub>0</sub>'' + ''r'' cos ''&theta;'', and
* ''R'' = ''R<sub>0</sub>'' + ''r'' cos ''&theta;'', and
* ''Z'' = ''r'' sin ''&theta;''
* ''Z'' = ''r'' sin ''&theta;''
''R<sub>0</sub>'', corresponding to the torus axis, is called the ''major radius'' and ''r'' the ''minor radius''.
''R<sub>0</sub>'' corresponds to the torus axis and is called the ''major radius'', while ''r'' is called the ''minor radius'', and ''&theta;'' the ''poloidal angle''.
''&theta;'' is called the ''poloidal angle''.
