Abstract

The stability of the radial electric field in a nonaxisymmetric torus is discussed from the thermodynamic point of view. It is found that for both radially local and nonlocal models, the stable radial electric field is at the minimum of the generalized heat production rate. A similarity between the local model and the liquid-gas phase transition is pointed out.
