Abstract
The equilibrium conditions of plasma in toroidal chambers of the figure-of-eight type are determined for the case in which the plasma is preserved for lpnger than the magnetic field takes to pass through the windings of the solenoid. In this case, some of the magnetic lines of force pass through the solenoid windings, closing outside it. Hence, the radius of the cross section of the extreme toroidal magnetic surface lying as a whole inside the chamber is always smaller than the radius of cross section of the solenoid. For a plasma pressure exceeding a certain critical value, toroidal magnetic surfaces are absent, and containment of the plasma is in principle impossible.
