U-Shaped Magnet, Chrome Steel
Product Code : LSK-M-11076
U-Shaped Magnet, Chrome Steel (SKU LSK-M-11076) is a permanent U magnet of chrome steel with its north pole marked, giving students a clear, labelled pair of poles to work with. It serves magnetism lessons in school science and junior college physics. The magnet is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in the HSIIDC Industrial Area at Saha, Ambala (Plot 448), India, and sold straight from there to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This chrome steel U magnet has moderate strength, comes with a keeper and carries a marked north pole. Six sizes are listed, in two section thicknesses of 8 mm and 6 mm, each in 75, 100 and 150 mm lengths with a 15 mm width, so a lab can match size to the demonstration.

Applications and Experiments for the Chrome Steel U-Shaped Magnet
Because the north pole is marked, the magnet is well suited to lessons where students must name poles and predict attraction or repulsion. It supports NCERT Class 6 magnet activities, Class 10 field-line work and Class 12 magnetism, and can form part of an electricity and magnetism lab kit for schools.
- Class 6 science: like and unlike poles, testing materials for attraction.
- Class 10 physics: mapping field lines between the arms with a plotting compass.
- Class 12 physics: locating the neutral region and comparing U and bar magnet fields.
Standard Scope of Supply
You receive the U-shaped chrome steel magnet with its keeper and marked north pole, in whichever of the six listed sizes you specify. Plotting compasses, iron filings and other accessories for field-line work are separate items and can be requested alongside the magnet.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single magnet, a batch for group work or a complete lab order across several sizes. Each one lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and as a physics instruments supplier in India we can add other magnets or apparatus to the same quote.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa and Qatar. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which pole is marked on the U-Shaped Magnet, Chrome Steel?
The north pole is marked, so students can identify both poles at a glance and use the magnet to find the poles of unmarked magnets or compass needles.
How is it different from the Alnico U-Shaped Magnet?
This model is chrome steel of moderate strength. The Alnico U-Shaped Magnet in the same range is specified with higher strength, long-lasting magnetism and an 18 mm centre gap.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures these magnets itself. Production takes place at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and you deal with the maker directly when you ask for a quote.
