(Received 13 May 1985; accepted 11 October 1985)

A theory for the generation of current in a toroidal plasma by radio‐frequency waves is presented. The effect of an opposing electric field is included, allowing the case of time varying currents to be studied. The key quantities that characterize this regime are identified and numerically calculated. Circuit equations suitable for use in ray‐tracing and transport codes are given.
