Abstract: The standard equilibrium equation for magnetized plasma is extended to account for the magnetic polarization force. A factor of the pressure gradient arising from the magnetic decomposition of the Hall term survives the limit of vanishing magnetization and is canceled by a contribution from the magnetic polarization force, such that the proposed equation reduces to the standard form in the free current limit. Comparison of the solutions for an axially symmetric plasma column indicates agreement with the free current limit for vanishing magnetization and variation in the field and current profiles as the degree of magnetization increases.
