The measurement of {ital c}-axis resistance in La{sub 2{minus}{ital x}}Sr{sub {ital x}}CuO{sub 4} at different temperatures for fields at any orientation shows that the observed dissipation is not dominated by any Lorentz-force-dependent mechanism. To explain the experimental findings, a phenomenological model is developed for {ital c}-axis resistance as a function of temperature {ital T}, field {ital B}, and angle {theta} between {ital B} and {ital ab} plane. Excellent agreement between calculated and experimental curves in a wide transition region (5 decades) gives a strong support to the present approach.
