Electromagnet ‘U’ shape Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-EE-12387

The U-Shaped Electromagnet is a physics laboratory apparatus used for demonstrating electromagnetism, magnetic attraction, magnetic circuits, and the effect of electric current on a soft iron core. It is suitable for schools, colleges, STEM laboratories, physics teachers, and students studying electricity, magnetism, current, coils, and magnetic force.

Product Description

The School Equipments U-Shaped Electromagnet is listed as Electromagnet, product code EL-EE-10882. It comprises a U-shaped soft iron core measuring 100mm x 65mm overall and formed from a 16mm diameter bar. The ends of the core are ground to provide good magnetic contact with the armature.

The windings are made from 0.9mm enamelled copper wire wound on insulation bobbins, connected in series, and provided with 4mm sockets. The apparatus helps students observe how a current-carrying coil magnetises a soft iron core and produces a strong temporary magnetic effect.

Key Features

• U-shaped soft iron core: Provides a clear magnetic circuit for classroom electromagnetism demonstrations.
• 100mm x 65mm overall size: Compact enough for school physics benches while remaining visible for demonstrations.
• 16mm diameter bar construction: Built from a substantial soft iron bar for strong magnetic performance.
• 0.9mm enamelled copper windings: Windings are placed on insulation bobbins and connected in series.
• 4mm sockets: Allows connection with standard laboratory leads and compatible power supplies.
• 5A recommended current: Supports controlled educational experiments when used with a suitable power source.
• 8A maximum current: Gives a defined upper current limit for safer teacher-supervised operation.

How to Use the Electromagnet ‘U’ Shape

1. Place the U-shaped electromagnet on a stable, dry laboratory bench.
2. Connect the 4mm sockets to a suitable low-voltage DC power supply using compatible leads.
3. Set the supply so the current does not exceed the recommended experimental value.
4. Place the armature across the ground ends of the soft iron core.
5. Switch on the current and observe magnetic attraction between the core and armature.
6. Vary the current under teacher supervision and observe changes in magnetic strength.
7. Switch off the supply before removing leads, changing connections, or handling the apparatus.

Safety note: Do not exceed the maximum current of 8A. Use only under trained supervision, avoid short circuits, and allow the windings to cool if the apparatus becomes warm.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the core ends and armature clean for good magnetic contact.
• Store the electromagnet in a dry cabinet to reduce corrosion risk.
• Do not operate the apparatus for long periods at high current.
• Inspect sockets, windings, bobbins, and leads before each experiment.
