   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Заметка носит методический характер и посвящена определению понятия линейной альфвеновской моды. Существуют два определения — электродинамическое и гидродинамическое. В первом случае альфвеновской модой считается волна с потенциальным поперечным электрическим полем. Во втором случае с альфвеновской модой чаще идентифицируются волны, движение плазмы в которых носит чисто вихревой характер. Хотя эти определения эквивалентны в однородной плазме, при учете кривизны магнитного поля они несовместимы: если поперечное электрическое поле является чисто потенциальным, то у скорости движения плазмы имеется не только вихревая, но и потенциальная составляющая, и наоборот. Электродинамическое и гидродинамическое определения эквивалентны только в том случае, если у электрического поля волны полностью отсутствует компонента вдоль бинормали к внешнему магнитному полю. Однако в природе таких волн не существует.</p>

    <p>The article is methodological and defines the concept of the linear Alfvén mode. There are two definitions — electrodynamic and hydrodynamic. In the former, the Alfvén mode is considered a wave with a potential transverse electric field. In the latter, waves are more often identified with the Alfvén mode, plasma motion in which is purely vortex. While these definitions are equivalent for homogeneous plasma, they are incompatible if the field line curvature is taken into account: if the transverse electric field is purely potential, the plasma speed has not only a vortex component, but also a potential one, and vice versa. The electrodynamic and hydrodynamic definitions are equivalent only if the wave electric field completely lacks a component along the binormal to the external magnetic field. However, such waves do not exist in nature.</p>
