{title2=ideal MHD shock conditions}
The <ideal magnetohydrodynamic shock conditions> are the Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions for <mass>, <momentum>, <energy>, and magnetic flux. For a dynamically weak <magnetic field>, the normal field is continuous while the tangential field is multiplied by the gas compression ratio.
