In part I of our paper [1] a kinetic theory of the influence of neutral particle sources on the dynamics of tokamak plasmas has been developed and the general solution of this problem has been given for an arbitrary source function. By the use of these results we calculate in this part II the particle's distribution function for different simple source functions. In the case of recycling perpendicular to the limiter surface we derive analytical expressions for the charge density, the induced electric potential and the anomaleous electron density flux transverse to the magnetic field.
