Abstract
An effect of the random plasma inhomogeneity onto the scenario of ion-acoustic anomalous resistivity is considered. It is shown that such an inhomogeneity could be more efficient than nonlinear effects to determine the turbulent resistivity. In application to Z-pinches, some peculiarities of the skin-effect are considered, in particular, subsequent inhomogeneity of the current penetration into the conducting medium.
