NB-driven FRC plasmas stay in a steady-state for long time and allow a thorough study of electron heating mechanisms. Core plasma 𝑇𝑒
shows a strong correlation with 𝑃𝐵𝑖𝑎𝑠.

Variations in axial and radial electric fields are determining factors in electron-ion confinement as well
as plasma rotation and heating.
