Be<strong>for</strong>e we can substitute these expressions (Equations 10.13 <strong>and</strong> 10.14) into Equation 10.10, we<br />

must recognize that our equilibrium fields were evaluated in a left h<strong>and</strong>ed coordinate system,<br />

while this section we have worked in a right h<strong>and</strong>ed system. Sorting this out we find λ 1 ⇒ -λ 1 ,<br />

<strong>and</strong> µ 1 ⇒ µ 1 , so that<br />

This is the difference between the geometric center ∆ g <strong>and</strong> the current center ∆ R of a circular<br />

plasma, under the present approximations. We also note that, after sorting out the coordinates,<br />

subtracting the outputs from our coils gives<br />

λ 1<br />
