Magnetic Needle with Stand
Product Code : SCL-CE-12549
The Magnetic Needle with Stand (SKU SCL-CE-12549) is a 5 cm magnetised needle balanced on a pivot stand so that it can swing freely and settle along the magnetic field around it. Its two ends are finished in contrasting colours, which makes the poles easy to tell apart in class. This pivoted magnetic needle is used by teachers and students in school science and physics practicals, and JaincoLab supplies it in a transparent plastic storage box.
Specifications
The magnetic needle is 5 cm long, carries contrasting colours on its two ends to identify the poles, and rests on a pivot stand that lets it rotate freely; each needle and stand is kept in a transparent plastic box for storage between lessons.

Uses of the pivoted magnetic needle in class
A pivoted magnetic needle turns to line up with any magnetic field nearby, so it is used to show that a free magnet settles in a fixed direction, to test which end of another magnet is its north pole, and to detect the field around a magnet or a current-carrying wire.
- Showing that a freely pivoted magnet comes to rest in a north-south direction
- Identifying the poles of bar, ring and horseshoe magnets by attraction and repulsion
- Detecting the magnetic field near a current-carrying conductor in school practicals
- Simple magnetism demonstrations in primary and middle-school science lessons
