An attempt to quantify the efficiency of magnetic braking during the early stages of star formation is continued. The cloud field is regarded as part of the local galactic field distorted by the nonhomologous motions that produced the cloud. The bulk of the cloud, which has a spherically symmetric density field, is assumed to be contained within a sphere of given radius that contracted isotropically and homologously from a sphere of larger radius. An upper limit for the braking efficiency is reportedly obtained in the context of a cloud model in which all the field lines remain infinite. A pseudoproblem for each field structure is solved for a set of values of supposedly constant nondimensional radius and three density fields.
