Magnetic Kits
Product Code : SCL-PL-11825
Magnetic Kits (SKU SCL-PL-11825) is, despite its name, an electrostatics set: with it, pupils can charge polyethylene strips by rubbing with wool, test charges on metallized polystyrene spheres and detect them with a 200 mm electroscope. It suits Class 8 science and Class 12 physics lessons on electric charge. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the kit at its Saha works, Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Ambala, India, and the works prices it for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This electrostatics kit is broken down into its separate parts in the table below. In short, a base with insulating holders carries four metallized polystyrene spheres, polyethylene strips and plates take a charge when rubbed with the woollen cloth, and a 200 mm electroscope on plastic supports shows whether a body is charged.

Applications and Experiments for the Magnetic Kits
The set demonstrates charging by friction, attraction and repulsion between charges, and charging by contact and induction, using the electroscope as the detector. It matches the static electricity lessons of CBSE/NCERT Class 8 science and the electric charges chapter of Class 12 physics.
- Class 8 science: charging by rubbing and testing charge with an electroscope.
- Like charges repel and unlike attract, shown with spheres hung on nylon thread.
- Class 12 physics (Electric Charges and Fields): charging by conduction and by induction, then moving on to stored charge on the Parallel-Plate Capacitor with its 20 cm plates.
- Showing charge on a conductor with the aluminium can and insulated plate.
Static experiments are more reliable in dry air; wipe the strips and plates clean and dry before rubbing.
Standard Scope of Supply
One kit contains the base with insulating holders, four metallized polystyrene spheres, a plate with insulating handle, the polyethylene strip, two polyethylene plates, a roll of nylon thread, an aluminium can, a woollen rubbing cloth and the 200 mm electroscope with plastic supports.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One kit for the demonstration desk or several for group work can be quoted, and each quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name. Larger electrostatic machines, such as a Van de Graaff generator, can be listed with it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Your static-electricity order can start on the contact page or in the enquiry cart, and public-sector buyers can follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Magnetic Kits set about magnetism?
No. Its parts are for static electricity: rubbing polyethylene with wool, charging metallized spheres and detecting charge with the electroscope. For magnetic field work, a Pair of Bar Magnets with Iron Filings can be quoted with it.
How large is the electroscope?
The electroscope has a diameter of 200 mm and stands on plastic supports. Its leaves spread apart when a charged body touches or is brought near the electroscope, and fall back when the charge is removed.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This static-electricity kit is assembled in Saha, Ambala, India, at the Science Lab Supplies works, so the company is its manufacturer and the quotation reaches you without a trading firm in between.
