Electromagnet Kit (Product Code: SLE/EM/13) lets students make their own electromagnets from parts and then test what they have built. Coils on plastic spools slide onto iron cores to form either a bar electromagnet or a U-shaped electromagnet, and two magnetic compasses reveal the poles and the strength of the field. Designed for elementary through high school learners and manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is an electromagnetic kit for schools in India that packs away into its own plastic storage case with instructions.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Coils | 2 coils on plastic spools |
| Cores | One U-shaped iron core and one straight iron core |
| Compasses | 2 magnetic compasses |
| Leads | A pair of wires |
| Storage | Plastic storage case |
| Documentation | Instructions included |
| Power | One 6-V battery or a DC power supply (not included) |
| Suitable for | Elementary through high school students |
Students usually start with one coil on the straight iron core to make a bar electromagnet. Bringing a compass to each end shows which end behaves as a north pole; swapping the battery connections reverses the poles, which is the key difference from a permanent magnet. They then fit both coils on the U-shaped core, connect them and compare how many small iron objects the U-shaped magnet holds against the bar version, investigating how core shape, number of coils and current affect the magnitude of the electromagnetic force. Older students can relate the pole they find to the direction of winding using the right-hand grip rule.
Connect the battery only while testing, so the coils stay cool and the cell lasts through the lesson, and keep the compasses away from the cores when storing them. Because every part returns to the fitted case, the kit works well as a take-out STEM science kit for Indian classrooms and science clubs where sets move between rooms.
This kit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited under its ScienceLab brand in Ambala, Haryana, where the company produces practical kits for primary, secondary and senior classes. Visit our company profile to learn about the business.

What is in the Electromagnet Kit?
Two coils on plastic spools, a U-shaped iron core, a straight iron core, two magnetic compasses and a pair of wires, all in a plastic storage case with instructions.
Is a battery included?
No. The kit runs from one 6-V battery or a DC power supply, which you provide separately.
Which age groups is it suitable for?
It is designed for elementary through high school students; younger classes build and test, while older students can also study pole direction and force.
Can the magnetic poles be reversed?
Yes. Reversing the battery connections reverses the current and therefore the poles, which the compasses show immediately.
How much can the electromagnet lift?
A lifting figure is not given in our current listing, as it depends on the power source and core arrangement. Contact us if you need further detail.
Can lost parts be replaced?
Ask through the contact page and we will advise on individual replacement items.
Do you offer class quantities?
Yes. We supply multiple kits to schools and distributors in India and international markets.
