Abstract
The effect of a transverse magnetic field on a toroidal discharge in a strong longitudinal magnetic field was studied. It was found that, for a definite value of the pinch displacement caused by the 1/c [I,B⊥], force, the oscillations on the oscillograms of the electrical characteristics of the discharge had minimum amplitude, while the mean plasma conductivity reached a maximum. It was shown that the effect of the transverse component of the magnetic field could, in general, be explained from the concept of the equilibrium of the plasma pinch inside the conducting sheath.
