Scientific paper

Examples are presented of how the geometric notion of the mean curvature is used for general magnetic field configurations and magnetic surfaces. It is shown that the mean magnetic curvature is related to the variation of the absolute value of the magnetic field along its lines. Magnetic surfaces of constant mean curvature are optimum for plasma confinement in multimirror open confinement systems and rippled tori.
