Abstract
The equilibrium-configurations of the Magnetic-Binary problem are investigated in the case of equatorial motion. The law of this constrained motion is derived and then the procedure for localizing the equilibrium points is developed. The type of equilibrium is also studied by means of the known method of variational equations.
