Abstract
An analytical study is made of the equilibrium and stability of tokamaks with an arbitrary cross section. The ideal hydromagnetic model is used. With inverse aspect-ratio expansion, the analytical expression of the equilibrium magnetic surface which is correct to the second order of the inverse aspect ratio is obtained as a function of the mean radius of the magnetic surface. The specific volume of the magnetic flux is obtained explicitly, and the stability against an interchange mode is discussed.
