An experimental study on behavior of radial profile of the floating potential with different biased electrode ring configurations has been carried out in a currentless magnetized toroidal plasma. Radial profile of the floating potential has been measured by biasing single ring of various sizes and two rings. It is observed that floating potential profile of a well shaped with controllable depth, hill-cum-well shaped, and almost flat positive potential can be obtained. Results on parameter dependence studies of floating potential on the bias voltage, magnetic field, and gas pressure are presented. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
