Abstract: | We study the influence of magnetic field on the ion-sound disturbance of a weakly ionized plasma ahead of a strong shock wave
of the neutral component. Different regimes (subsonic, sonic, and supersonic) are studied. Main attention is paid to the case
of formation of a discontinuous field in the plasma.
