Abstract
The Hall instability (HI) of a conducting plasma was investigated. The two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations for systems with large Larmor radius were derived. Investigations reveal that plasma was unstable under small perturbations. The dependence of HI on the steady-state plasma parameters and the conditions for the existence of HI were also studied.
