A theory is developed which leads to an expression for the partition of energy between mechanical and magnetic modes in a turbulent magnetohydrodynamic system in the presence of a strong external field. Modifications to this expression due to specific plasma effects are obtained and are not significant. Results are also obtained for the frequency spectra and diffusion coefficient. Measurements of the turbulent fluctuations in the Zeta device are described, and from these, values for the partition are obtained. It is found that there is only complete agreement with the theory if an anomalous resistivity is assumed at low operating pressures.
