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, listed at 10 cm length, so students can compare how the shape of a magnet changes its field. Schools and colleges use the pair for magnetism lessons from Class 6 to Class 12. Science Lab Supplies ships the set from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The bar magnet is a simple rectangular bar whose field lines form wide, symmetrical loops from its north end round to its south end. The horseshoe is a bar bent into a U, bringing both poles close together so the field is concentrated in the gap between the parallel 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 a compass or iron filings.
- Class 12 physics: comparing field strength between the horseshoe tips and around the bar.
- 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 are not stated as part of the set; any optional accessories you request are listed on the quotation.
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.
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. Send your requirement via the contact page, build a list in the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page for formal tenders.
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 more effective at picking up small magnetic objects.
How long are the magnets?
The listed length is 10 cm, a practical size for bench demonstrations and for field-line plotting on an A4 sheet.
Who supplies the Permanent Magnet Bar and Horseshoe?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the pair from Ambala, India and quotes it to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, in single sets or class quantities.
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 field could affect.
Related Magnetism Apparatus
Magnets are only half of a magnetism lesson; students also need a way to see the field. The four items below show field direction and pattern, add an extra horseshoe for group work and extend the topic to electromagnets, all on one quotation.
- Compass — 2 cm needle for plotting field lines.
- Metal Filings/ Powder — iron filings that show the field pattern.
- Horseshoe Shaped Magnet — a separate U-shaped magnet.
- Set of Coils with Removable Iron Core — for comparing permanent magnets with electromagnets.
