Product Code : SCL-AM-12107
DCC Copper Wire for Physics Lab (100gm Spool) (SKU SCL-AM-12107) is electrical-grade copper wire with a double cotton covering, wound on a 100 g reel for coil winding in electromagnetism practicals. Students use it to build electromagnets, solenoids and induction coils in school and college physics labs. Science Lab Supplies supplies this wire spool from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The full specification is set out in the table below. In brief, the conductor is high-purity electrical-grade copper insulated by two tightly wound layers of cotton yarn, so turns can lie against each other without shorting, and each reel holds 100 g of wire for repeated low-voltage coil work.

Applications and Experiments for the DCC Copper Wire
The wire is a consumable for any practical that needs a coil: it bends easily around iron nails, rods and tubes, and the cotton covering keeps neighbouring turns apart. It suits magnetic-effect-of-current topics in school physics lab equipment in India and the electromagnetism experiments of Class 12 and B.Sc. labs.
- Class 10 science: winding a simple electromagnet on an iron nail and powering it from a cell or a Laboratory Battery Eliminator.
- Winding a solenoid and tracing its field with a Plotting Compass or Metal Filings/ Powder.
- Class 12 physics: making induction coils to explore Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
- Restocking coil wire for student science kits and STEM projects.
Strip about 15 mm of cotton from each end before connecting, and do not leave a low-resistance coil connected for long periods, as it can warm up.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one 100 g spool of double cotton covered copper wire, packed with a specification leaflet that includes safety guidelines. Iron cores, cells, power supplies and connecting leads are separate items; they are not included with the spool and can be added to the quotation if needed.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one spool for a demonstration or enough reels to restock a whole laboratory before term. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for the number of spools requested, and coil formers, magnets or power supplies can be priced alongside.
As an exporter registered with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Requests for a quote can go through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and tender buyers will find the process on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does DCC mean on this copper wire?
DCC stands for double cotton covered. The copper conductor is wrapped in two separate layers of cotton yarn, which insulate each turn of a coil from the next and make the wire easy to identify and handle.
Can the wire be used for high-voltage transformers?
No. The DCC Copper Wire for Physics Lab (100gm Spool) is intended for low-voltage educational demonstrations with standard laboratory AC/DC supplies, not for high-voltage transformer or mains winding.
How should the spool be stored?
Keep the reel in a dry cabinet, because cotton can absorb moisture from humid air. Tuck the loose end into the spool flange after use and avoid pulling the wire over sharp edges.
Who supplies the DCC Copper Wire for Physics Lab (100gm Spool)?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India. Spools can be quoted on their own or together with electromagnets, coils and other electromagnetism apparatus on one quotation for a school or college laboratory.
