Abstract
The positive column of a low-pressure glow discharge in a toroid is investigated. The radial distribution of charged particles, the distribution of the electric fild and the course of the equipotentials are derived from theory. Assuming the curvature of the walls in the direction of the toroid axis to be negligible one can solve the problem as that of a positive column between concentric circular cylinders.
