Annotation

The measurement results of the radial behavior of the plasma potential of a low-pressure discharge in a cylindrical dielectric tube placed in a longitudinal magnetic field are presented. It is demonstrated that for the correct measurement of the radial electric field from the probe floating potential difference account should be taken of the plasma potential displacement caused by the inhomogeneous radial distribution of the electron concentration.
