The state of a slowly-diffusing radial pinch plasma in a constant electric field and a strong magnetic field is investigated. An expansion is found for resolving the equilibrium equation by considering a finite conductivity in accord with pinch curvature parameters. At zero approximation the pinch axis is rectilinear and diffusion is determined by an ordinary classical formula. The solution considering curvature was further developed and indicated the presence of strong transverse mass flow, causing an abnormally high loss of charged particles. The calculated losses coincide with experimental measurements. The solution shows that a plasma pinch must rotate in relation to its axis, otherwise the velocity distribution conditions are too rigid. (tr-auth)
