Energy confinement time of plasma in torsatron U-3M was measured both during quasi-stationary stady of RF-discharge and after RF-power cut-off. Power absorbed by plasma in the confinement region was estimated. A mechanism which explain the plasma density behavior in the confinement region is propose...
