Abstract:

Comparisons between calculated and directly measured values of radial penetration of axially-directed magnetic fields in cylindrical plasmas were effected. Using small-amplitude elementary theory the curve of field intensity vs radius was calculated which matched the measured intensity at the axis. The plasmas were intense engough to display considerable skin effect. Author
