摘要：

It is shown that the statistical properties of the magnitude of the magnetic field in turbulent electrically conducting media resemble, in the inertial range, those of passive scalars in fully developed three-dimensional fluid turbulence. This conclusion, suggested by the data from the Advanced Composition Explorer, is supported by a brief analysis of the appropriate magnetohydrodynamic equations.
