Demonstration Magnetic Needle with Stand

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10659

The Demonstration Magnetic Needle with Stand (extra-large format) is a physics laboratory magnetism apparatus used for showing magnetic field direction, pole alignment, compass action, and the behaviour of a freely pivoted magnetic needle.

Quick Answer: The Demonstration Magnetic Needle with Stand is an extra-large, freely-pivoting magnetic needle mounted on a stand, designed so an entire classroom can clearly see it align with magnetic north or respond to a nearby magnet.

Whole-Class Visibility for Magnetism Demonstrations

The extra-large format is specifically designed so that every student can see the needle from across the room, making it ideal for a teacher-led demonstration rather than individual desk use. It pairs well with a Compass Ø 55 mm set for follow-up individual student practice after the whole-class demonstration. Confirm needle length and stand height with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a regular compass?
It is built at an extra-large, classroom-visible scale specifically for teacher-led demonstrations, whereas a standard compass is sized for individual student use.

What does the needle demonstrate?
The freely pivoted needle aligns with magnetic north to show the Earth's magnetic field, and can also be used to demonstrate how it responds to a nearby bar or horseshoe magnet.

What is the stand made of?
Stand material and base design vary by model — check the product listing before ordering.
