It is shown that an external magnetic field, of strength at least comparable with that of the pulsar at the light cylinder, will modify the structure of the funnel of the open field lines. It affects the radiation power of charged particles and gamma-quanta emitted by radio pulsars (as well as the width and phase of pulses and possibly the power of radio emission). The effect depends also on the a...
