The kink instability in a relativistic, force-free, non-rotating plasma column dissipates about 40 to 60 percent of the magnetic energy at a rate near 0.1 times the energy per kink growth time, relaxing toward a force-free Taylor state.

Kink instability: evolution and energy dissipation in Relativistic Force-Free Non-Rotating Jets
The kink instability in a relativistic, force-free, non-rotating plasma column dissipates about 40 to 60 percent of the magnetic energy at a rate near 0.1 times the energy per kink growth time, relaxing toward a force-free Taylor state.
