Magnetic Attraction
Magnetic Attraction (Product Code: SLE/EAM/28) is a self-contained apparatus for investigating how the attractive force between a pair of high strength neodymium magnets changes with the distance between them. A calibrated dial sets the separation, and the pull is measured by attaching standard slotted masses until the forces balance. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a practical addition to physics lab instruments in India for magnetism and forces topics.

Typical Use
Students set a separation on the calibrated dial, then add slotted masses until their weight just balances the magnetic pull holding the magnets together. Repeating this at a series of dial settings produces a table of force against distance, and plotting the results shows how steeply magnetic attraction falls away as the gap widens. Plotting force against the inverse of distance, or on log–log axes, lets advanced students look for a power-law relationship rather than simply describing the curve.
Because the measurement relies on balancing two forces, the apparatus doubles as a concrete example of equilibrium for younger classes. Add masses in small steps near the balance point, approach each reading from the same direction to reduce errors, and keep steel tools and other magnets away from the bench. It is a tidy piece of physics practical equipment for CBSE and state-board laboratories that want a quantitative magnetism experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the separation between the magnets set?
With a calibrated dial, so each reading is taken at a known, repeatable separation.
Are the slotted masses included?
The force is measured with standard slotted masses. Please contact us to confirm whether masses are part of your order or should be added separately.
What type of magnets does it use?
A pair of high strength neodymium magnets, which give large, easily measured forces over a useful range of separations.
Is it suitable for younger students?
Yes, with supervision. The balanced-forces idea suits middle school, while the force–distance graph suits senior students. Neodymium magnets can pinch fingers, so handle them carefully.
How should it be stored?
Store it away from computers, magnetic media and other magnets, and keep the dial mechanism clean and dry.
Is a calibration certificate provided for the dial?
Discuss calibration certificate availability with our team when requesting a quotation.
Do you supply outside India?
Yes, ScienceLab supplies institutions and distributors in India and international markets.
