Abstract: The size of a magnetic island driven by an error field or a helical coil depends strongly upon the plasma response aiming at the maintenance of equilibrium. Sample calculations for tokamaks within the context of a linear theory show that the island size is greatly augmented when the tearing mode is close to a marginally stable state.
