Magnetic Compass Small Size
Magnetic Compass Small Size (Product Code: SCL-414/104) is a miniature plotting compass used to trace the direction of magnetic field lines around magnets and current-carrying wires in physics practicals. Its needle is pivoted between a top and a bottom glass plate, with no dial, so it can be viewed from either side. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for school physics lab equipment.

What Is the Small Magnetic Compass Used For?
Placed on paper beside a bar or horseshoe magnet, the small compass shows the local field direction. Students mark both ends of the needle with pencil dots, move the compass forward to the last dot and repeat, then join the dots into a field line. The small diameter follows curved field lines closely and helps locate neutral points.
It also shows the magnetic field around a straight wire or coil carrying current, a key part of any magnetism experiment kit. Store compasses away from strong magnets, which can weaken or reverse the needle, and check that each needle settles north–south before a practical begins.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Diameter: 18 mm or 20 mm (both appear in the listing)
- Quantity, for example one compass per student pair for plotting work
- Whether magnets or iron filings are needed in the same order
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM of the Magnetic Compass Small Size. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers. Because the maker quotes directly, questions about diameter or class-set quantities are answered at source, so ask us. More on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the diameter of the Magnetic Compass Small Size?
The Magnetic Compass Small Size (SCL-414/104) is listed with both an 18 mm and a 20 mm diameter. Tell us which you need when requesting a quote, and the diameter supplied will be confirmed before the order is placed.
Does the Magnetic Compass Small Size have a dial?
No, the Magnetic Compass Small Size has no dial. Its needle is pivoted between a top and a bottom glass plate, which keeps it simple for plotting: students mark where the needle ends point on paper rather than reading degrees.
What is the Magnetic Compass Small Size used for?
The Magnetic Compass Small Size is used to plot magnetic field lines around bar and horseshoe magnets, find neutral points and show the field around current-carrying conductors. Its small size lets it follow curved field lines closely on a sheet of paper.
How should small compasses be stored?
Store each Magnetic Compass Small Size away from strong magnets and iron objects, in a box or tray where the glass faces cannot be scratched. Before class, check that every needle swings freely and settles in the north–south direction.
Who makes the Magnetic Compass Small Size?
The Magnetic Compass Small Size is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers order directly from the manufacturer, so quotations and repeat supplies come from one source.
Can I order the Magnetic Compass Small Size in bulk?
Yes, the Magnetic Compass Small Size can be quoted in class-set and bulk quantities for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the quantity, preferred diameter and delivery location through the ScienceLab contact page.
