Magnetic Needle Stand – Metal (KS4+)

The Magnetic Needle Stand is a precision instrument designed to support investigations into magnetism and magnetic fields in KS4 and post‑16 physics lessons. Manufactured from non‑magnetic metal, this stand ensures accurate results by preventing interference with the magnetic needle during experiments.

The stand is fitted with a sharp carbon steel point, providing minimal friction and allowing the magnetic needle to rotate freely and respond sensitively to magnetic fields. With a compact height of 110mm, the stand is stable on the laboratory bench while remaining easy for students to observe and use during practical work.

Its robust construction makes it well suited for repeated classroom handling, while the simple design supports clear demonstrations and reliable results in a school laboratory environment.
