Scientific paper

The electrical properties of the matter within a molecular cloud are examined. It is verified that, whilst the MHD approximation is still valid, the dominating presence of neutrals is the source of a very large anisotropy of the electrical conductivity; indeed, the latter differs in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field by many orders of magnitude. The implication of this result for the dissipative processes (e.g., wave dissipation) cannot be underestimated. This anisotropy prevails during a large part of the evolution of a cloud.
