A theory for gain in a free-electron laser with helical wiggler and axial magnetic field in the presence of self-fields is presented. It is found that for group I orbits, gain decrement is obtained relative to the absence of the self-fields, while for group II orbit gain enhancement is obtained. The gain decrement and enhancement are due to the diamagnetic and paramagnetic effects of the self-magnetic field, respectively.
