Abstract

A sufficient criterion for MHD stability is derived by use of the energy principle. This is a generalization of the criterion of Rosenbluth. The sufficient criterion is applied to a cylindrical plasma. It is also applied to a field-reversed configuration (FRC). It is found that the FRC considered here does not satisfy the criterion.
