Abstract
A toroidal theta-pinch magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium configuration of a diffuse boundary is calculated analytically for β = 1 plasma. Equilibrium can be obtained even if the toroidal magnetic field is present, provided that the ratio, toroidal field over poloidal field, is less than the square root of the aspect ratio.Keywords
