Scientific paper

In this paper, an approximate extension of the deHoffmann-Teller (1950) theorem for electrons within layers possessing a normal mass flux is derived. It is shown that the deHoffmann-Teller frame electron bulk velocity is nearly parallel to the magnetic field everywhere through those one-dimensional time-stationary layers which possess a normal mass flux, even though electric field perpendicular to the magnetic field exists throughout such layers. Examples of layers of this class are the fast and slow shocks as well as rotational discontinuities.
