On the magnetic flux conservation in the partially ionized plasma
Abstract
Ohm, Hall, and ambipolar diffusions in the partially ionized plasma are considered. The statement of Pandey & Wardle (2011,2012) that only Ohmic diffusion is capable of destroying the magnetic flux is not sufficiently correct due to the formal dependence of the magnetic diffusion on a frame of reference.
