Bar Magnet – Superior
Product Code : SCL-M-11248
Quick answer: The Bar Magnet - Superior is a straight permanent magnet with its two opposite poles near the ends. It is the basic magnet for school magnetism: identifying north and south poles, showing attraction and repulsion, deflecting a compass needle and mapping the field around the bar. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the bar magnet is used
A freely suspended bar magnet comes to rest with one end pointing roughly north; that end is its north-seeking, or north, pole. Field lines leave the north pole, curve through the space outside the bar and return to the south pole, and they are most crowded near the ends, where the magnet pulls hardest. Polarity and field shape are the two ideas a bar magnet is used to teach.
- Hang the magnet horizontally from a thread, away from iron objects, and mark the end that points north.
- Bring each end towards the poles of a second identified magnet to compare attraction and repulsion.
- Lay the magnet under paper and move a plotting compass around it, marking the needle direction to build up the field lines.
- Test classroom objects to find which are attracted and where along the bar the pull is strongest.
Key features
- Straight two-pole form for clear polarity demonstrations.
- Shows attraction between unlike poles and repulsion between like poles.
- Suits field mapping with plotting compasses or sealed iron-filing trays.
- Permanent magnet: no batteries or wiring needed.
- Reusable when kept away from heat, knocks and damp.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find the north pole of a bar magnet?
Suspend it freely by a thread away from iron; the end that settles pointing north is the north pole. The south end of a plotting compass needle also points towards it.
Where is a bar magnet strongest?
Near its two ends, where the field lines are most closely packed; the middle of the bar attracts very little.
