Magnetic topology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In plasma physics, the magnetic topology of a plasma is the structure and linkage of its magnetic field.[1][2]

The magnetic topology of a plasma can be changed through magnetic diffusion and reconnection. In the limit of a large magnetic Reynolds number, however, diffusion and reconnection of the magnetic field cannot occur, and the magnetic topology is preserved.[3][4]
