The angle a balanced needle makes with the horizontal is the:
APermeability
BSusceptibility
CAngle of dip
DDeclination
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Angle of dip
1. The needle is free to swing in the magnetic meridian plane.
2. It settles at an angle to the horizontal rather than flat.
3. That angle is called the angle of dip.
