In this lecture, we will present several examples of the application of the energy principle for determining the stability of a magneto-fluid system that illustrate the power of the method. These examples are all based on the simple case of a fluid/vacuum interface, as shown in Fig. 26.1.
To state a theorem and then show examples is literally to teach backwards.
