E.g., at [[TJ-II]], magnetic equilibria can be obtained from the [[VMEC]] code (see [[TJ-II:Magnetic coordinates]]). It returns ''ψ'', the toroidal magnetic flux. The normalized effective radius is defined by


:<math>\rho_{\rm eff} = \sqrt{\psi_N}</math> (cylindrical zero beta approximation)
:<math>\rho_{\rm eff} = \sqrt{\psi_N}</math>         (cylindrical zero beta approximation)


where ''&psi;<sub>N</sub>'' is the normalized toroidal flux, such that it is 0 on the magnetic axis and 1 at the Last Closed Flux Surface (LCFS).
