Alnico Horseshoe Magnet
Product Code : EL-M-10302
Quick answer: The Alnico horseshoe magnet is a red-painted U-shaped magnet in Alnico alloy, giving a strong field between its closely spaced poles that lasts far longer than chrome steel. It is supplied with a keeper in 50, 75 and 100 mm lengths with an 11 x 8 mm section, for force-on-conductor and field demonstrations. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

Uses
With an Alnico horseshoe magnet the field in the pole gap is both strong and stable, so experiments that depend on a steady field, such as the deflection of a current-carrying wire or a swinging conductor, give repeatable results term after term. Alnico is also the traditional choice where a steel magnet would slowly weaken from knocks and stray fields.
In class it is used to show the shape and concentration of the field with iron filings, to demonstrate Fleming's left-hand rule, to compare how strongly the two poles together hold iron objects, and to induce a current by moving a coil through the gap.
Key features

Frequently asked questions
What sizes does the Alnico horseshoe magnet come in?
Three sizes: 50 x 11 x 8, 75 x 11 x 8 and 100 x 11 x 8 mm, each with a keeper.
Which is better for a horseshoe magnet, Alnico or chrome steel?
