About This Product
A dip circle measures the angle of dip, which is the angle the Earth's magnetic field makes with the horizontal at a place. The needle swings freely in a vertical plane and settles along the field direction. Students level the instrument, turn it into the magnetic meridian and read the angle on the scale. The clamp holds the needle when the instrument is moved or stored.
