Neoclassical transport has been investigated with a modified Malmberg-Penni
ng trap which has conductors along the axis to create an azimuthal magnetic
field. The axial bounce motion of the electrons is accompanied by a radial
drift which changes sign at the ends of the device causing drift orbits of
finite radial extent. Analysis and numerical simulations show that the tra
nsport is neoclassical with mobility and diffusion coefficients depending u
pon the axial magnetic field alone rather than the absolute value of the ma
gnetic field. Experiments with added helium gas to create electron-neutral
collisions show that the electron mobility from an applied radial electric
field and the Ware drift from an azimuthal electric field both have neoclas
sical values over a wide range of magnetic fields and collision frequencies
