   There are three types of the north: True north, Grid north, and Magnetic north. According to the American practical navigator Nathaniel Bowditch, the magnetic declination is the angle between the magnetic and geographical meridians at any place, which is expressed in degrees and minutes east or west to indicate the direction of magnetic north from true north.

   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°.

   The magnetic equator or aclinic axis seems to be the location of the zero-dip points. At the equator, the dip needle rests horizontally at an angle of zero degrees. The angle of dip: The magnetic dip, commonly known as the angle of dip, seems to be the angle formed by the earth's magnetic field lines well with horizontal.

   When plane of dip circle is in magnetic meridian it shows dip angle 30, if plane of dip circle is turned by 30, the new dip angle is Q. If the magnet is suspended at an angle 30 o to the magnetic meridian, the dip needle makes an angle 60 o with the horizontal.

   Suppose we define a relation F from set A to B such that it associates the countries with the year in which they won the world cup for the first time. Thus, every element in set A will be exactly associated with only one element in set B. This relation F shown in the below figure is qualified to be a function.
