Simple compass Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MBAVTOB-12950
The Educational Instrument Simple Compass is a basic laboratory compass used to introduce direction, polarity, and magnetic field behaviour. It helps students observe how a freely suspended magnetic needle aligns with the Earth’s magnetic field and responds when placed near magnets, current-carrying wires, and magnetic materials.
This simple compass for physics lab work is useful in beginner-level practicals because it gives immediate, visible results. It can be used with magnetism lab equipment, physics lab equipment, Oersted’s Law apparatus, and the Fun with Magnets Kit STEM Lab for experiments on magnetic poles, field lines, and compass deflection.
Key Features
Basic magnetic direction display: Shows north-south alignment for introductory direction and magnetism lessons.
Suitable for classroom demonstrations: Helps teachers explain magnetic fields using direct observation.
Useful for compass deflection: Demonstrates how magnets and electric current affect a magnetic needle.
Student-friendly operation: Simple to place, observe, rotate, and record during practical work.
Supports STEM learning: Useful for physics, geography, environmental science, and navigation activities.
Reusable lab accessory: Suitable for repeated supervised use in schools and colleges.
Easy to store: Compact apparatus that can be stored with magnetism kits and circuit accessories.

How to Use the Simple Compass
Place the simple compass on a flat, dry, non-metallic surface.
Keep the compass away from strong magnets, motors, speakers, and metal tools before taking a reading.
Allow the needle to settle naturally without touching the compass body.
Observe the north-south alignment shown by the needle.
Bring a bar magnet near the compass and note the needle movement.
For Oersted’s law, place the compass near a current-carrying wire and observe deflection under teacher supervision.
Safety note: Keep the compass away from strong magnetic fields for long periods. Use only safe low-voltage electrical circuits during electromagnetism experiments.
Care & Maintenance
Store the compass in a dry place after each practical session.
Keep it away from strong magnets and electrical equipment when not in use.
Do not drop, shake, or press the compass needle mechanism.
Clean the outer body with a soft dry cloth; avoid water or chemical cleaners unless approved.
