The relaxed state of a magnetized four-component partially ionized dusty (PID) plasma is explored. PID plasma is composed of inertial electrons, positive ions, neutrals, and static negatively charged dust particles. When the neutrals are dragged along with the ions, the steady-state solution of vortex dynamic equations for inertial electron and ion species yields a triple Beltrami relaxed state, which is a linear combination of three single force-free fields and is characterized by three self-organized structures. The impact of plasma parameters such as Beltrami parameters and neutral (degree of ionization) and dust species densities on the nature of the relaxed state is investigated. Furthermore, the role of scale separation and its implication in space plasma are also presented. The present research will aid in elucidating the role of neutral and dust species in space, astrophysical, and laboratory plasmas.
