The power flow in rapid magnetization or demagnetization of a plasma that conducts current between two cylindrical conductors is analyzed through a consideration of the necessarily two-dimensional physics. This fast Hall-field-dominated evolution of the magnetic field must be accompanied by a large dissipation of power, partly in the bulk of the plasma and partly at the electrodes. Interestingly, precise statements can be made about this partitioning of the power.
