Dip needle

Whatsapp Order


A dip needle is a sensitive scientific instrument designed to measure the inclination of the Earth’s magnetic field. Typically consisting of a magnetized needle mounted on a pivot, it can freely rotate in a horizontal plane. The needle aligns itself with the magnetic field, indicating the angle of dip, which is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the horizontal plane.
