Dip Needle

A Dip Needle is a finely balanced magnetic needle used to measure the magnetic dip or inclination angle of the Earth’s magnetic field. Mounted to pivot freely in a vertical plane, the needle aligns itself with the Earth’s magnetic field lines, enabling precise determination of the angle between the horizontal plane and magnetic field direction. Dip Needles are essential instruments in geophysics, navigation, and laboratory studies of magnetism. They provide crucial data for mapping magnetic variations, compass calibration, and educational demonstrations. Typically constructed with magnetized steel or alloy, dip needles are designed for sensitivity and durability in field and lab environments.

Magnetic needle on stand

 Product Description The Magnetic Needle on Stand is a precision laboratory instrument used primarily for demonstrating magnetic fields and directionality in physics and earth science education. It consists of a finely balanced magnetic needle mounted on a stable stand, allowing free rotation to align with the Earth’s magnetic field or an applied magnetic field. Constructed from magnetized metal, the needle provides a clear and accurate indication of magnetic north or the direction of a nearby magnetic field source. The sturdy stand ensures stability during demonstrations or experiments, making it an essential tool for classroom experiments, compass demonstrations, and magnetism studies.
