Magnetic topology
In plasma physics, the magnetic topology of a plasma is the structure and linkage of its magnetic field.
The magnetic topology of a plasma can be changed through magnetic diffusion and reconnection. In the limit of a large magnetic Reynolds number, however, diffusion and reconnection of the magnetic field cannot occur, and the magnetic topology is preserved.
