Scientific paper

A necessary and sufficient condition for a closed periodic orbit to be nonplanar is derived from the numerator of the expression for the torsion of a space curve. It is established that only the component of force orthogonal to the velocity can contribute to aplanarity. This associates aplanarity with a force that does no work which in turn suggests a magnetic force anomaly as the cause of the 'braid' configurations of Saturn's F-ring. It is suggested that a similar explanation might be applied for the spoke features of the B-ring.
