Abstract
The role played by a primordial magnetic field during the pre-recombin ation epoch is analysed through the cyclotron radiation (due to the fr ee electrons) it might produce in the primordial plasma. We discuss th e constraint implied by the measurement or lack thereof COBE on this p rimordial field.
