how do magnetic confinement method help contain
high energy particles like plasma

My answer will be incomplete at the moment, I just got a book from Weston M. Stacey, Jr. FUSION PLASMA ANALYSIS, I'm trying to skim it to get an overview and to answer You. Magnetic confinement in really works on plasma, but the fields created are a mixture of toroidal and polar symmetries. Plasma is then held in shape by calibrating the fields to the core of the toroidal plasma fluid. The rotation (spin) of the subatomic particles is the element that generates enough dipole in each of them to be held by a magnetic field. Because plasma is a theoretically perfect conductor, without the particles's dipole any magnetic field would pass through it as a whole without effect. Magnetic confinement works but there are many other factors that pester the efficiency of a fully functional device.
