Results of the numerical analysis of collisionless drift instabilities as applied to magnetic configurations with a purely poloidal magnetic field are presented. Instabilities caused by the gradients of the ion and electron temperatures and plasma density are considered within a wide range of wavenumbers. An electromagnetic model taking into account the finite plasma pressure and magnetic field curvature is formulated for configurations with a nonuniform magnetic field.
