For Keplerian rotation, initial and thermal pressure , axisymmetric magnetic winding gives . If the initial plasma beta is , the formal equality of magnetic pressure and gas pressure occurs atThe magnetic-to-thermal pressure ratio decreases with radius, so magnetic pressure dominates inside this radius. In a disk with a finite radial range, an equality radius exists in the disk only when this formal radius lies within that range.
