  The effect of strong quantising magnetic field on low density stellar matter
is investigated using Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) model. The Wigner-Seitz cell
structure is assumed for the low density matter. The significant changes in the
properties of such low density matter in presence of strong magnetic fields are
discussed. It is seen that the decay time scale for magnetic field decreases by
at least two orders of magnitude in such model calculaion.
