Accordingly Wikipedia, books, and papers the magnetic pressure is B^2/2mu.

I think it is wrong, because not take into account the plasma speed.

We could obtain it for almost static magnetic field formula of movement of particles in a magnetic field, that happens usually if the magnetic field is under 10khz:

(H is the height of the plasma column, as lower height, more pressure)
