The response of TJ-II plasmas to an induced toroidal electric field, Eǿ , was studied in past experiments with the aid of Ohmic inducted current. It was found that positive induced plasma current, Ip, degrades the confinement while negative Ip improves it. Candidates to provide a physical explanatio...
