Abstract
The first experiments carried out on the “Tokamak-3” assernbly are described. It is shown that correction of the magnetic field changes significantIy the characteristics of the discharge. The motion of the plasma pinch in the chamber is investigated and the relationship between drifts and regular fluctuations is explained by oscillograms of the electrical parameters. The relationship between plasma conductivity and the intensity of the longitudinal field is determined. It is established that for a longitudinal field intensity of 25 kG the conductivity is (1–2).1016 CSU (according to a minimum estimate).
