The equation governing electron diffusion in the F2-region along the lines of force of a geocentric magnetic dipole, whose axis coincides with the earth's, is solved numerically in the equilibrium case when there is electron production, loss by recombination, but no transport of electrons by electrodynamic drift. The results show that, for the parameter values considered, the extra terms in the diffusion equation, caused by the variation of the gravity component along a line of force (Lyon, 1961), lead to only a slight dip in Nmax at the equator. The dip is much too small to explain the Appleton anomaly in terms of diffusion alone.
