Please help with the following physics problems.
1. The current that flows through an incandescent light bulb immediately after it is turned on is higher than the current that flows moments later. Why?
2. The Earth's magnetic field lines are not parallel to its surface except in certain places. They actually "dip" downward at some angle to the ground. (An ordinary compass does not show this).
a) At what places of the Earth would the "magnetic dip" be the greatest?
b) Where on the Earth would the dip be zero?
