The parameter n is strongly undetermined both in value and sign In all cases except for four pulsars. Changes of the rotation period P and the inclination angle X, the angle between the axes of rotation and the magnetic moment are caused by two processes: me regular retardation and notation due to deviation from the strict spherical shape of the neutron star.

Such losses are ~itical for the neutron stars magnetosphere which is full of dense plasma (the densibr is higher than that of GoldreichJulian)

It should be noted that a slight discrepancy between the theory and observations can be explained by the usage of a sumple approximation in which the longitudinal current is considered as constant ~ the whole area of open magnetic field lines. More accurate estimations, when the effect of the electrical current flowing near the internal surface of the hollow cone was taken into consideration, were made by Besldn et aL (1986~.
