Abstract
The work of a previous paper (I) by the author on the effect of steady large scale convection currents on a magnetic field is extended to include turbulent convection. It is shown that turbulence reduces the effective electrical conductivity of a gas, in some cases to a small fraction of its normal value.Keywords
