The device used for measuring the angle of dip is the dip circle.
Let me explain this in simple terms:
The angle of dip, also known as the magnetic inclination, is the angle made by the Earth's magnetic field lines with the horizontal plane. It varies depending on where you are on the Earth's surface. In some places, magnetic field lines are nearly vertical, while in others they are more horizontal.
A dip circle is a specialized scientific instrument used to measure this angle. It usually consists of a magnetic needle that is free to rotate in the vertical plane.
When using a dip circle, you align it so that its plane is parallel to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field. Then, you read the angle at which the magnetic needle stabilizes. This is the angle of dip. The instrument's mechanism allows for accurate measurement of this angle by compensating for any external influences or inclinations.
