An equilibrium of plasma current mdltipole configuration is studied in a linear machine, Two plasma current columns are formed in a system bounded by a metal cylinder shaped in a quadrupole-like magnetic field line. These two current cylinders are not in equilibrium, and move towards center due to their own attractive force. This movement can be suppressed an extornal magnetic field produced by a pair of currents flowing in the same direction to the plasma currents.
