ABSTRACT
An analytic solution for the force-free magnetic field, del x B =
lambda
B, in the poloidal divertor configuration of the Tokapole II device
[Nucl.
Fusion 19, 1509 (1979)] is presented. Experiments conducted on
Tokapole
II which provide equilibrium magnetic field profile measurements using
a magnetic probe are then described. Observations include a
non-constant-lambda
profile and a large diamagnetic current near the divertor separatrix.
