About This Product
The stand is placed on a level surface and the rings are slid onto the rod one at a time. If two rings attract, one is turned over so like poles face each other, and the repelling rings then float with gaps between them. Students compare attracting and repelling arrangements to see how pole orientation matters and that magnetic forces act without contact. As the set contains magnets and small parts, it is used under supervision. Besides buyers across India, the Floating Magnets can be exported to institutions in Comoros, Chad, Jamaica, New Zealand, Honduras and Brazil.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why do the rings float apart? When like poles face each other, magnetic repulsion pushes neighbouring rings apart, leaving visible gaps along the rod.
