Equilibrium positron-electron pair density in an optically thin relativistic plasma with magnetic fields is numerically calculated. An examination is made of how the properties of a plasma are affected by hard photons produced by the multiple inverse Compton scatterings of synchrotron photons. The effect of magnetic fields, i.e., copious production of synchrotron photons, turns out to be significant even if the energy density of magnetic fields is below the equipartition value by several orders of magnitude. Both maximum attainable temperature and allowable maximum thickness of a plasma are shown to decrease rapidly with the increase of magnetic fields.
