Bar Magnet (Plastic)
Bar Magnet (Plastic) (Product Code: SLE/LSM/01) is a set of two plastic-cased bar magnets used to show magnetic poles, attraction, repulsion and field patterns in primary and middle-school science lessons. Each bar is made of 3 rectangular ceramic magnets covered in a non-toxic plastic box, and iron filings come with the set for field-pattern activities. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools that need a bar magnet for school use in India.

What Is the Plastic Bar Magnet Used For?
With two bars, pupils can bring ends together to feel like poles push apart and unlike poles pull together, hang one bar from a thread to watch it settle along a north–south line, and test which classroom objects are magnetic. Sprinkling the iron filings on a sheet of paper laid over a bar reveals the field pattern around its poles.
The plastic casing makes the bars easy for children to hold and helps protect the brittle ceramic magnets inside from chipping if dropped. Always put the filings on paper or card rather than directly on the magnet, so they can be collected and reused. The set is a simple starting point for teachers building a science kit for students in India on magnetism.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included with the Bar Magnet (Plastic)?
The Bar Magnet (Plastic) (SLE/LSM/01) is a set of two bar magnets supplied with iron filings. Each bar contains 3 rectangular ceramic magnets covered in a non-toxic plastic box, ready for pole, attraction and field-pattern activities.
Why are the magnets in the Bar Magnet (Plastic) covered in plastic?
The plastic box around the Bar Magnet (Plastic) holds its ceramic magnets together and helps protect them, since ceramic magnets are brittle and can chip if dropped. The non-toxic casing also gives children a smooth bar that is easy to handle.
How are the iron filings used with the Bar Magnet (Plastic)?
Place the Bar Magnet (Plastic) under a sheet of paper or card, sprinkle the iron filings on top and tap gently. The filings line up along the magnetic field and show the pattern around the poles; fold the paper to pour them back for reuse.
What magnet material does the Bar Magnet (Plastic) use?
The Bar Magnet (Plastic) uses ceramic magnets: each bar is built from 3 rectangular ceramic magnets. Ceramic (ferrite) magnets are common in school kits because they keep their magnetism well and do not rust.
Who supplies the Bar Magnet (Plastic)?
The Bar Magnet (Plastic) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. It belongs to the company’s Science Material range and is supplied to schools, activity centres and dealers in India and international markets.
How should the Bar Magnet (Plastic) be stored?
Store the two bars of the Bar Magnet (Plastic) side by side with opposite poles together, away from phones, computers and bank cards. Keep the iron filings sealed so they do not spill or cling to the magnets.
