Abstract

The effect of a rotating magnetic field on the stability of a rotamak is investigated. Using a simple equilibrium model and the linearised equations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics, it is shown that a rotating field can be a contributing factor in the stabilisation of the tilting instability of a slightly prolate rotamak plasma.
