This lecture explores the stability of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibria in plasmas, focusing on various instabilities such as sausage, kink, and Rayleigh-Taylor. The instructor discusses the effects of perturbations on MHD equilibria, the wall's influence on stability, and methods for analyzing stability using Fourier analysis and energy principles.
