Enhancing Learning of the Grad-Shafranov Equation through Scientific Literature: Part 1 of a Physics Education Series

This article provides a comprehensive review of relevant studies in the fields plasma physics, electromagnetism, and space physics. The aim is to demonstrate how study scientific literature can be used enhance problem-solving abilities develop innovative solutions In this paper, we focus on specific Grad-Shafranov equation. Two new proposed by Yoon Lui (2005) are as basis for development solution. solution presented has singular points similar Yoon-Lui-2 solution, but with an inverted configuration, also presents less rounded double islands compared Additionally, does not exhibit formation current ring, characteristic Yoon-Lui-1 varying its parameters may lead higher confinement efficiency. summary, illustrate thorough analysis serve powerful means generating approaches resolving theoretical issues
