  • Abstract
    It is shown that a thin magnetoplasma sheet behaves as if it were isotropic, provided that the conductivity is sufficiently high and the d.c. magnetisation is parallel to the sheet. The result lends confidence to the use of boundary or `jump¿ conditions, which relate the electromagnetic fields on the two sides of the sheet.
