Which outcome results when a strong external magnetic field permeates a magnetically susceptible plasma?

💡 Explanation

When a magnetic field permeates a plasma, plasma confinement occurs because the charged particles experience the Lorentz force (q*v x B), causing them to spiral around the magnetic field lines, increasing magnetic pressure. Therefore plasma confinement results, rather than other effects, that require alternative material properties or driving mechanisms.
