Abstract
General expression for the noncoplanar component of the magnetic field in the front of the quasi‐perpendicular fast collisionless shock is derived from the two‐fluid hydrodynamics in the assumptions of (1) stationarity, (2) one‐dimensionality, and (3) quasi‐neutrality of the shock. The tensorial structure of ion and electron pressure is taken into account. Limits of validity of previously proposed phenomenological expressions are found.
