Permanent Magnet Bar and Horseshoe
Product Code : SCL-CL-11874
Permanent Magnet Bar and Horseshoe (SKU SCL-CL-11874) pairs a straight rectangular bar magnet with a U-shaped horseshoe magnet, 10 cm in length, so students can compare how the shape of a magnet changes its field. The pair suits magnetism lessons from Class 6 to Class 12 in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies can dispatch the set from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Both magnets in this 10 cm pair are described row by row in the table. In short, the bar magnet is a simple rectangular bar whose field lines loop widely from north to south, while the horseshoe is a bar bent into a U that brings both poles close together and concentrates the field between its tips.

Applications and Experiments for the Bar and Horseshoe Magnets
Having both shapes on the bench lets students see that the same two poles give a spread-out field in a bar and a dense, concentrated field between the tips of a horseshoe. The pair covers magnetism in NCERT Class 6 science, magnetic field lines in Class 10 and magnetism and matter in Class 12 physics.
- Class 6: attraction, repulsion and picking up small magnetic objects.
- Class 10: drawing field lines of each magnet with iron filings or a pivoted Magnetic Needle.
- Class 12 physics: comparing field strength between the horseshoe tips and around the bar, then contrasting both with an electromagnet made from the Set of Coils with Removable Iron Core.
- Force on a conductor: using the horseshoe gap as the magnetic field for a current-carrying wire.
Store the magnets in pairs with opposite poles together and keep them away from electronics, watches and cards.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set is supplied as the two permanent magnets named above: a bar magnet and a horseshoe magnet, 10 cm long. Iron filings, compasses and keepers can be added to the quotation on request, so the full magnetism bench is priced and packed in a single order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
From a single demonstration pair to a set for each student group, Science Lab Supplies quotes the exact quantity and states packing, delivery time and price. Other school chemistry lab equipment in India on your list, such as iron filings, can join the same quotation for one delivery.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. To have the magnet pair priced, put it in the enquiry cart or describe your quantity on the contact page; for a formal tender, start from the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the bar and horseshoe magnets?
The bar spreads its field in wide loops from end to end. The horseshoe brings both poles side by side, concentrating the field in the gap, which makes it effective at picking up small magnetic objects.
How long are the magnets?
They are 10 cm long, a practical size for bench demonstrations and for plotting field lines on a sheet of paper with filings or a compass.
Who supplies the Permanent Magnet Bar and Horseshoe?
The pair is quoted and sent by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can request single sets or enough for every group.
How should the magnets be stored?
Keep them in opposite-pole pairs, away from heat and hard knocks, and away from electronic devices and cards that a strong magnetic field could affect or damage.
