Abstract
The convective instability of a layer of conducting liquid carrying a current and lying in a magnetic field perpendicular to the current is considered. The problem of the nonconductive approximation in a linear setting is solved. The relationships between the Rayleigh number and the Hartmann number (determining the neutral stability) are derived.
