Annotation
The graphic presentation of the dependence between the angles of the magnetic field relative to the discontinuity surface normal at both of its sides is found within the frame of the classical formulation of the problem of discontinuous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. The result is applied to the known class of analytical solutions concerning the structure of a magnetic field in the vicinity of a reconnecting current layer.
