Abstract
The field line pitch and its relation to the integrated magnetic shear is discussed for a low-β tokamak plasma. Analytical results using a second order inverse aspect ratio expansion are presented and specifically discussed in the limits of peaked and fiat current profiles. The results are compared and contrasted with an earlier calculation of the local magnetic shear.
