electromagnetic confinement

Electromagnetic confinement is a technique used to contain or control charged particles, like electrons or ions, using electromagnetic fields—such as magnetic or electric fields. In devices like fusion reactors or particle accelerators, these fields create a "bottle" that keeps the particles from escaping, enabling high-temperature plasma or particle beams to be sustained for experimental or energy production purposes. This method relies on the particles’ charged nature, which makes them respond predictably to electromagnetic forces, allowing precise control over their position and behavior without physical barriers.
