• high energy density plasma pressure

$1 MBar = 1 \times 10^6 \times 10^5 Pa = 10^{11} Pa = 10^{11} (N m)/(m^2) = 10^{11} J/m = 10^{11} (10^7 erg)/(10^6 cm^3) = 10^{12} erg/cm^3$

• magnetic field produced by single wire (Ampere law)

$P_{magnetic} = \frac{I(A)}{5r(cm)}$

• • 100 kA at 1 um radius is 200 MG
