Precision compass Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-MBAVTOB-12949

The Educational Instrument Precision Compass is a practical teaching instrument for magnetism, direction finding, and field observation activities. It helps students understand how a freely moving magnetic needle aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field and responds to nearby magnets, current-carrying conductors, and magnetic materials.

This compass is useful for classroom demonstrations, physics practicals, STEM projects, and introductory navigation lessons. It can be paired with magnetism lab equipment, physics lab equipment, Oersted’s Law apparatus, and Fun with Magnets Kit STEM Lab for wider experiments on poles, field direction, and electromagnetism.

Key Features

Clear magnetic direction reading: Shows north-south alignment for direction and magnetism demonstrations.

Useful for compass deflection: Helps demonstrate the effect of magnets and current-carrying wires on a magnetic needle.

Classroom-ready design: Suitable for repeated supervised use in school and college laboratories.

Supports magnetic field study: Helps students trace field direction around bar magnets, coils, and conductors.

Easy student handling: Simple to place, observe, rotate, and record during practical work.

STEM-compatible instrument: Useful for physics, geography, environmental science, and basic navigation activities.

Low-maintenance apparatus: Requires careful storage and protection from strong magnetic interference.

How to Use the Precision Compass

Place the precision compass on a flat, non-metallic surface.

Keep it away from strong magnets, mobile phones, motors, and metal objects before taking a reading.

Allow the needle to settle naturally without touching the compass body.

Observe the north-south direction shown by the needle.

Bring a magnet near the compass and record the change in needle direction.

For electromagnetism experiments, place the compass near a current-carrying wire and observe deflection under teacher supervision.

Safety note: Do not expose the compass to strong magnets for long periods, as this may affect needle magnetisation. Use electrical circuits only with safe low-voltage supplies under supervision.

Care & Maintenance

Store the compass in a dry place after use.

Keep it away from strong magnetic fields and heavy metal tools.

Do not drop, shake, or press the compass needle mechanism.

Clean the outer surface with a soft dry cloth; avoid chemical cleaners unless approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a precision compass used for in a physics lab?

A precision compass is used to observe magnetic north, magnetic field direction, and compass needle deflection in magnetism and electromagnetism experiments.

Can this compass be used for Oersted’s law experiments?

Yes. It can be used near a current-carrying conductor to show magnetic needle deflection, provided the experiment is performed with a suitable low-voltage setup.

Is the precision compass suitable for schools?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised use in school physics labs, geography lessons, STEM classrooms, and college practical sessions.

Does the compass show magnetic field direction?

Yes. The compass needle aligns with the local magnetic field, allowing students to observe field direction around magnets and conductors.

What material is the compass made from?

The exact body material, dial type, and needle specification should be confirmed from the supplier datasheet before publishing final tender details.

How should the compass be stored?

Store it dry, away from strong magnets, electric motors, speakers, and heavy metal objects to protect the magnetic needle and maintain reliable readings.
