Scientific paper

This paper presents a theory that describes electric currents and magnetic fields in equilibrium magnetized plasma for the case where the pressure is isotropic and the inertial terms can be neglected. The current density is determined by the simultaneous requirements of pressure balance and charge conservation. It is shown that the plasma current density can be expressed as the sum of expressions for plasma pressure gradients, Jp, and the force-free current density, Jf.
