Abstract

A self-consistent analysis of the currents in a tokamak yields the result that the parallel neutralizing current is given simply by the sum of currents commonly called the bootstrap current and the Pfirsch-Schluter current. An expression is given relating the parallel and perpendicular pressure gradient induced species flow velocities to the total current.
