Field-reversed configuration
ID: field-reversed-configuration
Field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a type of plasma confinement geometry used in fusion research. It is designed to contain high-temperature plasma, which is necessary for nuclear fusion reactions to occur. Unlike traditional magnetic confinement techniques like tokamaks or stellarators, which utilize closed magnetic field lines to confine plasma, the FRC configuration generates a magnetic field that reverses direction at the center of the plasma.
