A new class of plane-symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models of perfect fluid distribution with electromagnetic field is obtained. The source of the magnetic field is due to an electric current produced along the z-axis. F12 is the non-vanishing component of electromagnetic field tensor. The free gravitational field is assumed to be of Petrov type-II non-degenerate. We have studied three cases : (i) cosine hyperbolic (ii) linear and (ii) cosine form. Some geometric and physical properties of the models in the presence and absence of magnetic field are also discussed.
