   The magnetic dip is defined as the angle made horizontally by the earth’s magnetic field lines. It is also known as dip angle or magnetic inclination and was discovered by Georg Hartmann in the year 1544. When the inclination is positive, it indicates that the earth’s magnetic lines are pointing downward in the Northern Hemisphere and when the inclination is negative, it indicates that the ...

   The angle of dip is 45° whenever the horizontal, as well as vertical components of the earth's magnetic field, are approximately equivalent. Therefore, the angle of dip somewhere at the equator exactly 0 ° also because the force's magnetic lines seem to be entirely horizontal here anyway, as well as the magnetic needle remains horizontal.

   Angle of dip. The angle of dip is the angle between the earth's magnetic field lines and the horizontal component of the magnetic meridian. It is defined as the angle in the vertical plane aligned with the magnetic north. Its value ranges from 0 ° to 90 °. If the angle of dip is positive, the magnetic field line points downward.

   The magnetic inclination is also known as the angle of dip. It is the angle made by the horizontal plane on the earth’s surface. At the magnetic equator, the angle of dip is 0°, and at the magnetic poles, the angle of dip is 90°.
