A general method was developed to determine a toroidal equilibrium of plasmas, once a cylindrically symmetric linear solution is known. Arbitrary current distribution can be treated. The application to an equilibrium calculation to toroidal E layer is also given. This azimuthally symmetric toroidal E layer has an advantage of stable configuration with poloidal magnetic field comparable to the toroidal magnetic field offering the possibility of high β toroidal plasma containment.
