Self-induced magnetic force of a toroidal current
Abstract
A class of magnetostatic solutions is obtained for the magnetic field and current in a toroid. The solutions are characterized by nested toroidal flux surfaces whose cross-sections are concentric circles. The model distribution of the magnetic field and current allows a correct calculation of the typical self-induced magnetic force exerted by a current interacting with its own magnetic field in a toroidal configuration.
