Moments of the quasi-linear integral describing the interaction at Cerenkov resonance of thermal electrons with ion-cyclotron waves in the outer plasmasphere are calculated in a two-ion (H+ and He+) approximation. These moments describe variations of the macroscopic parameters of the electron component of the plasma in the corresponding hydrodynamic equations due to the resonant interaction. It is shown that, depending on the plasma parameters (or the relationship between the Alfven velocity and thermal velocity of the electrons), the presence of helium ions can lead either to the intensification or the attenuation of wave heating as compared with the one-ion approximation.
