The radial profile of electron temperature deduced from the measured electron energy distribution function (EEDF) is investigated in an axially homogeneous He positive column and compared with a theoretical one calculated from the electron energy balance equation. The radial shift of the measured EEDF can be explained by the effect of the ambipolar potential. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
