straighten a bent flux tube. External pressures on the flux tube can stop it expanding in area and/or keep is bent but are needed to oppose the Maxwell pressure and the tension force. By the way, I dislike the universally used name "tension force" which comes from thinking of guitar strings that return to straight after plucking. The reason I don't like it is that the force of a bent flux tube vanishes once it is straight whereas the tension on a guitar string remains once it is straight. I always use the term "flux tube curvature force" - but I seem to be about the only one to worry about these semantics!

field does not thread the surface (so the tube funnels out - i.e. grows in cross sectional area if the field lines diverge and funnel together if the converge. For me the key definition is that magnetic flux in a flux tube tube is conserved along the tube (which is a consequence of no field threading the tube surface and div(B) = 0): so $ F = {\int}_A \vec{B}.\vec{da}$ is constant along a flux tube where $ \vec{da}$ is an element of cross sectional area of the tube, $ \vec{B}$ is the field in the tube, and the integral is over the cross sectional area of the tube, A.

Furthermore, the definition utilizes the "boundary" of a "closed, orientable surface", which does not make sense to me, as a closed surface by definition has no boundary. Perhaps I am misunderstanding something here. I would like to get your thoughts on this if you are able. Thanks. 422: 374: 919:.

Because div(B) = 0, all flux tubes (if they have finite length) must, eventually, wrap itself around and its ends connect to form a torus (otherwise magnetic monopoles exist and they have never been definitively detected and if they do exist they are highly exotic for sure!). Hence the tube is either

Hi there, I'll look at the page in a moment. But first thoughts: the surface the definition refers to is like a hollow tube and is closed in that it is a surface that wraps around on itself in the 2 spatial dimensions perpendicular to the tube axis to form the tube. The key point is that magnetic

Flux tubes can change in cross sectional area and can bend. However, when we add charged particles in a quasi-neutral magnetoplasma, the MHD force balance shows that there is a magnetic (Maxwell) pressure that acts perpendicular to B (of $ B^2/(2{\mu}_o$ ) and a "tension" force that acts to
