At the inner edge, the imposed torque isThereforeThe angular-momentum conservation law says that $\mathcal{F}h+\mathcal{G}$ is constant. The magnetic process supplies angular momentum $\Theta$ at the inner boundary; viscous stress passes it outward, and the mass leaving at $r_{\mathrm{out}}$ carries the injected angular momentum together with the angular momentum $\dot{M}{h}_{\mathrm{in}}$ that entered with the mass. A larger torque must therefore move the removal radius outward so that each unit mass can carry more specific angular momentum.
