Metal Strips Set (Product Code: SLE/EM/06) puts five different metals side by side in one matched set: one strip each of aluminium, brass, copper, steel and zinc, all cut to the same 3/4 x 5-1/4 inch size. Because every strip has identical dimensions, any difference students observe — in cell voltage, in reaction with an acid or in how quickly it tarnishes — comes from the metal itself rather than from its shape. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a low-cost addition to school physics lab equipment in India and to chemistry benches studying metals and electrochemistry.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Metals included | Aluminium, brass, copper, steel and zinc |
| Quantity | One strip of each metal |
| Strip size | 3/4 x 5-1/4 inches (each strip) |
| Form | Flat strips, usable as electrodes or test samples |
The most common use is building simple cells from two different strips dipped in an electrolyte such as salt water or dilute acid. Students swap pairs — zinc with copper, aluminium with copper, steel with zinc, and so on — read the voltage on a meter and rank the metals, arriving at their own version of the reactivity or electrochemical series. The same strips can be compared for their reaction with dilute acid, for their appearance after exposure to moist air, and as the two plates of a lamp-and-electrode conductivity test.
Clean the surface of each strip with fine abrasive paper before a voltage comparison, since oxide films change the readings. After contact with electrolytes, rinse the strips with water and dry them straight away; the steel strip in particular will rust if left damp. Used this way, the set becomes a flexible chemistry teaching kit for India’s secondary syllabus, where the same five metals return in several chapters.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an equipment maker based in Ambala, Haryana, that prepares sets like this one for school and college laboratories. Details of the company and its range are on our company profile.

Jumper Wires (male to male) (Product Code: SLE/EM/07) are 6-inch flexible hook-up leads with a connector pin at each end, sold in a pack of 40. They push straight into solderless breadboard holes and header sockets, so students can build, test and rearrange circuits without soldering, and they also top up the wiring in most circuit kits — for example when patching extra connections on a digital electronics trainer kit. The pack is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, to school, college and polytechnic electronics labs.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Male-to-male jumper wires |
| Length | 6 inches (each wire) |
| Pack quantity | 40 wires |
| Suitable for | Breadboarding and use with most circuit kits |
| Kit support | Provides additional materials for select kits |
On a breadboard, jumper wires carry signals and supply rails between components that are not in the same row: from a battery or bench supply to the power rails, from a switch to an LED and resistor, or from a sensor to a microcontroller pin. In a logic gates experiment kit or a transistor practical, a pack of 40 is enough to lay out a complete circuit and still have spares for the changes students make while troubleshooting. The 6-inch length reaches across a standard board without leaving loose loops that snag on components.
To keep them working, remove a wire by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling on the cable, and straighten bent pins before pushing them back into a board. Use them only in low-voltage circuits, never for mains wiring. Returning wires to their pack or a small box at the end of each lab session keeps the full count ready for the next group.
These jumper wires are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, of Ambala in Haryana. Alongside the equipment made at its own facility, the company sources everyday lab consumables so institutions can order a complete requirement from one vendor — see our company profile.
Other items used when wiring and testing student circuits:
Find more leads, meters and circuit apparatus in our Electricity Equipments range.
How many jumper wires are in a pack?
Forty. Each pack contains 40 male-to-male wires.
How long is each wire?
Each wire is 6 inches long.
Will they fit my breadboard?
Male-to-male jumpers of this kind are made for solderless breadboards and header sockets. Pin dimensions are not listed in our current documentation, so contact us if you need confirmation for a particular board.
Which colours are included?
The colour mix is not specified in our listing; please ask when you request a quotation if colour coding matters for your lab.
Can they be used with mains-powered circuits?
No. They are intended for low-voltage breadboard and kit circuits only.
Can you supply several packs for a whole lab?
Yes. Multiple packs can be supplied to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.

Ampere's Rule Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EM/08) is a physics apparatus used to observe the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire in Grades 9–12 classrooms. Supplied with a manual, one 45-mm compass and six 16-mm compasses, it lets students apply the right-hand rule and see how the field varies with distance and with the plane studied. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Demonstrates | Magnetic field around a current-carrying wire; right-hand rule; variation of the field with distance |
| Field planes studied | Perpendicular and parallel to the wire |
| Compasses included | One 45-mm compass and six 16-mm compasses |
| Documentation | Manual included |
| Size | 17.5 x 7.5 x 10 cm |
| Level | Grades 9–12 |
| Required, not included | Regulated DC power supply; banana/alligator cords |
| Product code | SLE/EM/08 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
Start with the 45-mm compass beside the wire and the current off, so the needle settles on north. Switch the supply on and the needle turns; reverse the leads and the swing reverses, so the class can predict each direction with the right-hand rule before switching. The six 16-mm compasses are then arranged around the wire in the perpendicular plane to trace the circular field, and moved outwards step by step to show the deflection falling off with distance.
Repeating the layout in the plane parallel to the wire shows how field direction relates to the current along its length. Switch the current on only while readings are being taken, keep magnets and steel items away from the bench, and line the wire up north–south for the clearest deflections. The apparatus works as a front-of-class demonstration and as a magnetism experiment kit for pairs of students at their own benches.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Ampere's Rule Apparatus and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Purchase departments that register vendors can use the company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Legal Entity Identifier 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49.

Ring Thrower (Product Code: SLE/EM/09) is a teacher-operated demonstration of electromagnetic induction that ends with an aluminium ring shooting up to 12 ft into the air. The ring rests over a coil of wire wound on an iron core. When the coil is energised with alternating current, its changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the ring; the resulting current sets up an opposing magnetic field, and the repulsion propels the ring upward — Faraday’s law and Lenz’s law in a single, visible event. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is an electromagnetic induction kit that needs no assembly: it is ready to use as soon as it is plugged into a wall socket.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Demonstrates | Electromagnetic induction, Faraday’s law, Lenz’s law and eddy-current repulsion |
| Construction | Coil of wire wound on an iron core; aluminium ring placed over the core |
| Ring flight height | Up to 12 ft |
| Operation | Coil energised with alternating current; ready to use after plugging into a wall socket |
| Listed power rating | 115-V AC, 60 Hz |
The ring thrower is usually introduced after students have met induction with a magnet and coil, because it turns an abstract rule into something they can watch and hear. With the ring on the core, a short burst of current launches it; the teacher can then ask why an aluminium ring, which is not attracted to a magnet, is pushed away so strongly. Holding the ring down on the core for a moment and then letting go shows that the induced current also warms the metal, a direct link to eddy-current heating. Discussing why a ring with a gap cut in it would not fly helps students see that a closed conducting loop is needed for the induced current to flow.
Keep faces and hands clear of the space above the core, check that nothing overhead is in the ring’s path, and energise the coil only in brief bursts so it does not overheat. The unit belongs with the physics lab equipment India’s senior secondary and undergraduate teachers use for electromagnetic induction, transformers and AC topics.
The Ring Thrower is made under the ScienceLab brand by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana manufacturer of physics and general science teaching apparatus. Learn more on our company profile page.

Explore the full Electricity Equipments range for more electromagnetism demonstrations.
What power supply does the Ring Thrower need?
It plugs directly into a wall socket; no separate supply is required. The listed rating is 115-V AC, 60 Hz, so please contact us to confirm the version that matches your local mains before ordering.
How high does the ring go?
The aluminium ring can be propelled up to 12 ft, so use it in a room with adequate ceiling clearance.
Why is the ring made of aluminium?
Aluminium is a good electrical conductor and light in weight, so a strong induced current and a large repulsive force act on a small mass.
Does it work with direct current?
No. The effect depends on a changing magnetic field, which is why the coil is energised with alternating current.
Can students operate it?
It is best run by the teacher as a demonstration, with students observing from a safe distance.
Are spare rings available?
Please ask through the contact page and we will advise on replacement parts.
Do you supply institutions and export customers?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
For a price on the Ring Thrower, write to us via the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart along with other induction apparatus.

Complete Zeeman Effect Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EM/10) is an integrated bench system for observing the Zeeman effect — the splitting of an atomic spectral line when the emitting atoms are placed in a strong magnetic field. A slim mercury discharge lamp sits between the poles of a built-in, current-controlled electromagnet that reaches up to 1.3 T at the lamp position; the 546.1 nm emission line is isolated by an interference filter, collimated by a lens and resolved with a Fabry-Pérot etalon so that the splitting can be seen and measured. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a physics instruments supplier in India, it is intended for university and college modern-physics and spectroscopy laboratories.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Lamp | Mercury discharge lamp, slim design, AC, 1,500 Vp-p, 5 W |
| Observed emission line | 546.1 nm |
| Maximum magnetic field at lamp position | 1.3 T |
| Electromagnet | Built-in, current-controlled; magnet rotatable 90° for transverse or longitudinal viewing |
| Electromagnet power supply | 90-V DC, 0.5 to 1.4 A, with analog ammeter |
| Fabry-Pérot etalon | Aperture 40 mm; quartz plate separation 2.0 mm; central wavelength 589.3 nm; resolution ≥ 2 × 105; high-reflection bandwidth 100 nm |
| Interference filter | Central wavelength 546.1 nm; transmission bandwidth ≤ 10 nm; peak transmission ≥ 50% |
| Collimating lens | Aperture 37 mm; focal length 110 mm |
| Operating limits | 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F); humidity 35% to 80% |
| Power input | 110-V AC, 60 Hz, 190 W |
| Dimensions | 2 x 0.75 m |
| Weight | 36.4 kg (80 lb) |
With the field off, the etalon shows a set of sharp interference rings from the single mercury line. As the magnet current is raised, each ring splits into components whose separation grows with the field. Viewing across the field (transverse) and along it (longitudinal) — made possible by rotating the magnet through 90° — lets students compare the patterns seen in the two directions and relate them to angular-momentum selection rules. Measuring ring diameters at several magnet currents gives the energy splitting as a function of field, from which the Bohr magneton or the specific charge of the electron can be estimated.
Let the lamp stabilise before recording data, raise the magnet current gradually while noting the ammeter reading, and work in a darkened room for the clearest rings. Handle the etalon, filter and lens only by their mounts and keep their optical surfaces covered when not in use. Because it combines a precision etalon with collimating optics, the system also serves the interferometry side of optics lab equipment in India’s postgraduate departments.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and builds laboratory systems for higher-education physics as well as school science. Our company profile describes the company and its range.

Complete Properties of Electrons Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/EM/11) is a self-contained bench set for studying how a beam of free electrons behaves in electric and magnetic fields. It is built around a cathode-ray tube with a flat 75 mm screen, a pair of transverse field coils and an axial field solenoid, together with the supplies that drive them, and its instruction manual gives sample activities and sample data for six experiments ending with the determination of e/m. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it serves colleges in India as a complete EM ratio apparatus and electron-optics trainer in one case.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| CRT overall length | 240 mm |
| CRT neck diameter | 51.4 mm |
| Flat screen diameter | 75 mm |
| Grid pitch | 10 mm |
| Electrostatic deflection | X-deflection ~±100 V; Y-deflection ~±100 V |
| Transverse field coils | Mean diameter 67 mm; 530 turns per coil |
| Axial field solenoid | Mean diameter 93 mm; length 228 mm; 1,300 turns |
| CRT cathode voltage | -750 to -1,400 V |
| Focus voltage | +200 to +400 V |
| Grid voltage | -4 to -80 V |
| Magnet supply | 0 to 9 V, 0.155 A (transverse); 0 to 7.7 V, 2.0 A (axial) |
| Power requirement | 110-V AC, 60 Hz |
| Case dimensions | 470 x 330 x 215 mm |
| Weight | ~10 kg (22 lb) |
Experiments covered by the instruction manual, with sample activities and sample data:
A practical session usually starts with the undeflected spot, then applies voltages to the X and Y plates to show that deflection is proportional to plate voltage and inversely related to beam energy. Switching to the transverse coils shows the beam bending in a magnetic field, and the axial solenoid turns the straight beam into a spiral that refocuses to a point — the basis of magnetic focusing and of the e/m measurement. Recording the cathode voltage and the solenoid current at which the spot refocuses gives the specific charge of the electron, making this a complete specific charge electron experiment with the manual’s sample data as a check on students’ results.
Allow the tube to warm up, begin with low settings and a dimmed room, and avoid leaving a bright, stationary spot on the screen for long periods. The CRT works at high voltage, so the case should be opened only by trained staff, and students should adjust the controls under supervision.
Built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company whose products carry the ScienceLab name, this apparatus is part of its range for undergraduate physics laboratories. More information is on the company profile page.

Primary-Secondary Coils (Product Code: SLE/EM/12) are a classic two-coil set for demonstrating electromagnetic induction and the working principle of a transformer. A primary coil of 175 turns of 18 AWG insulated copper wire and a secondary coil with three available windings — 500; 1,000; and 1,500 turns — are used on a plated iron core 165 mm long and 19 mm in diameter, so students can change the turns ratio and see the effect on the induced voltage directly. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, the set is a durable transformer experiment kit for school and college physics labs.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Iron core | Plated iron, 165 mm long, 19 mm diameter |
| Primary coil | 175 turns of 18 AWG insulated copper wire |
| Secondary coil | Three available windings: 500; 1,000; and 1,500 turns, insulated copper wire |
| Coil formers | Moulded formers fitted with shielded banana jacks |
| Demonstrates | Electromagnetic induction and transformer principles |
For induction, the primary is connected to a low-voltage DC source through a switch and the secondary to a centre-zero galvanometer: the needle kicks one way when the switch is closed and the other way when it is opened, showing that only a changing current in the primary induces a current in the secondary. Sliding the iron core in and out shows how strongly the core links the two coils. For the transformer principle, the primary is fed from a low-voltage AC supply and the output is taken from each secondary winding in turn; moving from the 500-turn to the 1,500-turn winding raises the output, which students can compare with the turns ratio they calculate.
Because every connection is made through shielded banana jacks, students can rewire the circuit quickly and safely between trials. Always use a low-voltage laboratory supply rather than mains, and switch off before changing windings. The experiment appears in the electromagnetic induction chapter of CBSE and state-board syllabi, so the coils sit well in any list of physics practical equipment for CBSE schools as well as undergraduate labs.
ScienceLab apparatus such as these coils is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), a private limited company based in Ambala, Haryana. Manufacturing is carried out at the company’s licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414). Read more on our company profile.
Items used with the coils in induction and transformer practicals:
Browse all items in our Electricity Equipments range.
How many turns do the coils have?
The primary has 175 turns of 18 AWG insulated copper wire. The secondary offers three windings of 500; 1,000; and 1,500 turns.
What size is the iron core?
It is a plated iron core 165 mm long and 19 mm in diameter.
How are connections made?
Each coil is wound on a moulded former fitted with shielded banana jacks, so standard banana-plug leads can be used.
Can the set show both step-up and step-down action?
Yes. Feeding the 175-turn coil and taking output from a secondary winding gives a step-up arrangement, and reversing the roles shows step-down. Maximum current ratings are not listed, so keep to low-voltage supplies and contact us if you need the ratings.
Is a power supply or meter included?
No. The coils and core are supplied without a power source or meter; see the related items above.
Is a calibration certificate available?
The coils are demonstration apparatus rather than a measuring instrument. If your tender asks for particular documents, discuss them with us before ordering.
What should be included in an institutional enquiry?
The number of sets, delivery address, any accessories to be quoted together, and vendor-registration details your institution needs. We supply across India and to international markets.

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.
Items that extend electromagnet lessons:
For more magnetism and circuit apparatus see our Electricity Equipments range.
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.
