An ion source has an arc chamber and multiple electrode pairs that define a respective plasma column axis within the arc chamber. A source magnet surrounds the arc chamber and defines pole pairs, each respectively associated with the electrode pairs to confine a plasma to the respective plasma column axis. The source magnet can be an electromagnet or a permanent magnet. The electromagnet has coils and a magnetic core to define the pole pairs and confine the plasma to the respective plasma column based on a coil current supplied to the coils. The magnetic core can have movable core members to magnetically couple each of the plurality of pole pairs. The permanent magnet has a magnetic core and movable core members to selectively magnetically couple the permanent magnet to each of the plurality of pole pairs.
