The motion of a plasma column acted upon by a small external magnetic field is calculated using the sharp-boundary ideal magnetohydrodynamic model. The natural oscillation frequencies of the system are obtained. For the theta pinch, simple approximate formulas useful in considering feedback and dynamic stabilization schemes are derived.
