A new explanation regarding the toroidal spin-up of a field-reversed configuration (FRC) is provided. A physical picture showing that the poloidal flux can convert directly to kinetic angular momentum is described. Through the use of an ion orbit calculation in resistively decaying FRC plasma, toroidal rotation at both the separatrix and the field-null is found to occur.
