Solution
Magnetic dip or magnetic inclination at a place is defined as the angle which the direction of the total strength of the earth’s magnetic field makes with horizontal line in magnetic meridian . It is represented by the symbol δ Dip circle is the instrument used for measuring the value of magnetic dip.
On the magnetic equator, the angle of dip is 0 it means the needle would rest horizontally at the magnetic equator.
