Abstract
A simple physical form of the optimal condition for oscillating field current drive (OFCD) in a bootstrapped tokamak is given. The results o f the analysis suggest that the required OFCD driving frequency can be reduced in a bootstrapped tokamak directly in proportion to the reduc tion in the OFCD fraction of the total toroidal current, while the tot al required poloidal magnetic Bur content is independent of the OFCD d riving frequency.
