The trapped electron dynamics is considered in general tokamak magnetic field with positive or reversed shear. Starting from the continuity, energy-evolution, and motion equations of the trapped electron fluid and the definition of Lagrangian invariant, the Lagrangian invariants hidden in the dynamics are strictly found: L=ln[(n/B)c1(T/B2/3)c2], where c1 and c2 are dimensionless changeable parameters and c1∝c2. It yields n/B=const and T3/2/B=const. Further, based on them it is shown that 〈n〉ψq(ψ)=const and 〈T3/2〉ψq(ψ)=const. The former invariant qualitatively fits the experimental data in many tokamaks; the latter may be used to explain the steady-state hollow T-profile (the corresponding hollow j-profile) observed in reversed shear tokamak plasmas.
