Product Code : SCL-M-11248
The Educational Magnetic Field Magnet is a permanent teaching magnet used to demonstrate magnetic poles, attraction, repulsion and magnetic field patterns. It is designed for supervised school, college and STEM laboratory activities in which students investigate how a magnet interacts with compasses, iron filings and magnetic materials.
Product Description
The magnet provides a direct, hands-on method for teaching basic magnetism. When used with a plotting compass or iron filings, it helps learners observe the direction and relative distribution of the magnetic field around the magnet. The field is strongest near the poles and forms a continuous pattern around the magnet.
This educational magnet can support practical work within a broader magnetism laboratory equipment programme. Its exact shape, magnetic material, dimensions, pole colours and supplied quantity must be confirmed because these details are not established by the product name alone.
Key Features
- Permanent magnetic field: Produces a field without requiring an electrical power source.
- Classroom demonstration value: Helps explain north and south poles, attraction and repulsion.
- Field-pattern experiments: Can be used with compasses or iron filings to map magnetic field lines.
- Hands-on learning: Allows students to test magnetic and non-magnetic materials directly.
- Reusable apparatus: Suitable for repeated demonstrations when handled and stored correctly.
- Simple operation: Requires no circuit assembly or power connection.
- Multiple lesson applications: Supports introductory lessons on magnetism, forces and magnetic materials.

What's Included in the Kit
- Educational magnetic field magnet – quantity
- Magnetic keeper
- Storage container
A plotting compass, iron filings, field board and magnetic test materials are not included unless specifically stated.
Applications / Uses
- Identifying the north and south poles of a magnet.
- Demonstrating attraction between unlike poles.
- Demonstrating repulsion between like poles.
- Mapping magnetic field direction with a plotting compass.
- Displaying magnetic field patterns with iron filings.
- Testing whether common objects are magnetic or non-magnetic.
- Comparing field patterns produced by one magnet and two magnets.
- Supporting experiments from the wider physics laboratory equipment range.
How to Use the Educational Magnetic Field Magnet
- Place the magnet on a stable, level laboratory surface.
- Identify the marked poles if the magnet is colour-coded or labelled.
- Move a plotting compass around the magnet and record the direction of the compass needle.
- For a field-pattern demonstration, cover the magnet with a sheet of paper or a suitable transparent field board.
- Sprinkle a small quantity of iron filings evenly over the sheet.
- Tap the sheet gently and observe how the filings align around the poles.
- Return the filings to their container without allowing them to attach directly to the magnet.
- Compare the result with a second magnet or a cylindrical bar magnet pair.
Safety note: Keep the magnet away from pacemakers, magnetic cards, watches, phones, computers and sensitive measuring instruments. Small magnets and iron filings must not be handled by unsupervised children.
Care & Maintenance
- Store the magnet in a dry location away from moisture and excessive heat.
- Use the supplied keeper when applicable to help preserve magnetism.
- Do not drop, strike or heat the magnet because some magnetic materials are brittle or may lose strength.
- Remove attached iron particles carefully with adhesive tape or a soft cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Educational Magnetic Field Magnet used for?
It is used to teach magnetic poles, attraction, repulsion and the field pattern surrounding a permanent magnet.
How can students see a magnetic field?
Students can use plotting compasses to trace its direction or iron filings to display the overall field pattern around the magnet.
Is this supplied as one magnet or a pair?
The supplied quantity is not confirmed by the product name. Verify whether the model includes one magnet, a matched pair or additional accessories.
What material is the magnet made from?
The material must be confirmed. Educational magnets may use steel, Alnico, ferrite or another permanent magnetic material depending on the model.
Does this magnet require electricity?
No. A permanent educational magnet produces a magnetic field without an external power source.
Can this magnet be used by young students?
Yes, under adult supervision. Keep magnets and iron filings away from the mouth, electronic devices and people with implanted medical devices.
