Magnet Needle on Stand
Model Number: MT-1338
The Magnet Needle on Stand from Micro Technologies is a laboratory magnetism apparatus designed for demonstrations involving magnetic direction, pole orientation, magnetic fields and terrestrial magnetism. The MT-1338 incorporates a horizontally mounted magnetic needle supported on a vertical stand with a stable base, providing a convenient free-rotation arrangement for physics laboratory experiments.
Product Specification
The Magnet Needle on Stand from Micro Technologies is designed for practical investigations involving the directional behaviour of a magnetized needle. The complete stand-mounted arrangement provides a convenient setup for observing the response of a magnetic needle to Earth's magnetic field and nearby magnetic sources.
The MT-1338 incorporates an elongated magnetic needle positioned horizontally on a central support. The supporting arrangement allows the needle to rotate around its vertical axis so that changes in magnetic orientation can be conveniently observed during suitable experiments.
When the apparatus is positioned away from strong nearby magnetic disturbances, the freely rotating magnetic needle tends to align approximately with the north-south magnetic direction. This makes the setup useful for demonstrating the directional property of magnets and introducing the basic concept of terrestrial magnetism.
The two ends of the magnetic needle represent opposite magnetic pole regions. Their distinguishable appearance assists users in observing pole orientation during experiments involving magnetic direction and field interaction.
A permanent magnet can be brought near the needle to demonstrate how an external magnetic field influences its orientation. The resulting deflection provides a clear visual demonstration of magnetic field interaction and torque on a magnetic needle.
The apparatus can also support investigations involving magnetic attraction and repulsion. By positioning the pole of another suitable magnet near either end of the needle, users can observe the different responses produced by like and unlike magnetic poles.
The stand-mounted design provides greater convenience than using a loose magnetic needle because the support maintains the needle at an appropriate working height while allowing rotational movement. The stable base helps keep the apparatus positioned during observation.
The MT-1338 is also useful for introducing the magnetic meridian. By observing the resting direction of the needle under appropriate conditions, users can relate its orientation to the local magnetic north-south direction.
The apparatus can complement bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, U-shaped magnets, electromagnets and other magnetic field equipment for broader investigations involving permanent magnetism and magnetic fields.
Its simple mechanical configuration does not require electrical power for normal operation, making it convenient for repeated laboratory demonstrations and experimental applications.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Magnet Needle on Stand is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, magnetism demonstration facilities and research environments involving magnetic direction and field investigations.

FAQs
What is a Magnet Needle on Stand used for?
It is used for experiments involving magnetic direction, magnetic poles, magnetic fields, needle deflection and terrestrial magnetism.
What is the Micro Technologies model number?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1338.
Can the magnetic needle rotate freely?
Yes. The needle is supported on a central arrangement designed to permit horizontal rotational movement during magnetic experiments.
Why does the magnetic needle align north-south?
When sufficiently isolated from nearby magnetic disturbances, a freely rotating magnetic needle interacts with Earth's magnetic field and tends to settle approximately along the magnetic north-south direction.
What is the advantage of the stand-mounted design?
The stand provides a stable support for the magnetic needle while maintaining it at a convenient height and allowing its directional movement to be easily observed.
Can another magnet be used near the needle?
Yes. Bringing a suitable permanent magnet near the apparatus can cause the needle to deflect, demonstrating the effect of an external magnetic field.
Can attraction and repulsion be demonstrated?
Yes. Appropriate positioning of another magnet near the magnetic needle can demonstrate interactions between like and unlike magnetic poles.
Can it be used for magnetic meridian experiments?
Yes. The resting orientation of the freely rotating needle can be used to introduce and investigate the concept of the magnetic meridian.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The MT-1338 operates using a permanent magnetic needle and does not require electrical power for normal demonstrations.
Where can the Magnet Needle on Stand be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, magnetism demonstration facilities and research environments involving fundamental magnetic investigations.
