Measurements of the safety factor (q) in the Finger-Ring Tokamak are reported. The minimum value is q=4 for I=34 kA and B/sub T/ =8 kG. The experimental value of q for the given current-density distribution as well as the dependence of the safety factor on the discharge current, the toroidal magnetic field, and the elongation coefficient agree well with the theoretical equation for a plasma of elliptic cross section derived previously.
