Abstract Results of an investigation of plasma in the toroidal apparatus TM-2 in a strong longitudinal magnetic field (up to 22 kOe) are described. It is shown that increasing the magnetic field sharply decreases the low frequency oscillations in the oscillograms of the loop voltage and discharge current derivative, and also weakens the interaction between the plasma and the wails of the discharge chamber. For a large enough ratio of the longitudinal field intensity to the intensity of the current selffield, oscillations are not observed. According to radiointerferometric measurements, the mean electron density in this case hardly alters during the course of the operations. The conductivity reaches a value of about 1016 cgs.
