Abstract
In this contribution we presented the first biasing experiments performed on the IR-T1 tokamak. For this purpose, a movable biasing system was designed, constructed, and installed, and then the positive voltage applied to an electrode inserted inside the tokamak limiter and the plasma current and also the plasma horizontal displacement in the absence and presence of the biased electrode based on the multipole moments and magnetic probes techniques were measured. Measurements result has shown a modification of plasma confinement by decreasing the plasma displacement.
