The purpose of this paper is to study the problem of equilibrium of a cylindrically symmetric distribution of perfect fluid under the action of an incident magnetic field. The magnetic field is due to an electric current along the axis of symmetry surrounded by static fluid of infinite electric conductivity. Two models have been derived and their physical features have been discussed.
