Abstract
Hydromagnetic equilibria are obtained for a variety of situations which differ little from that of a zero pressure uniform axial magnetic field. Criteria for ascertaining the stability of these equilibria are found by means of an energy principle. In particular, if helically invariant fields are present, stable equilibria with nonzero pressure and net axial current can be found.Keywords
