RFP devices have the same toroidal and poloidal components as a tokamak, but the current flowing through the plasma is much stronger and the direction of the toroidal field within the plasma is reversed.

For proper confinement, this toroidal field must have superimposed upon it a perpendicular field component (a poloidal field).

In a tokamak, the toroidal field is created by a series of coils evenly spaced around the torus-shaped reactor, and the poloidal field is created by a strong electric current flowing through the plasma.

Since the plasma is an electrical conductor, it is possible to heat the plasma by passing a current through it; in fact, the current that generates the poloidal field also heats the plasma.

* A tokamak has two directions: poloidal and toroidal.
-
This field is the sum of an toroidal and poloidal magnetic field.
