【 摘 要 】

The effects on magnetic-field-line structure of adding various static transverse magnetic fields to a Solovev-equilibrium field-reversed configuration is examined. It is shown that adding fields that are anti-symmetric about the axial mid-plane maintains the closed field-line structure, while adding fields with planar or helical symmetry opens the field structure. Anti-symmetric modes also introduce pronounced shear.
