Stirrup with Bar Magnet
Model Number: MT-1334
The Stirrup with Bar Magnet from Micro Technologies is a magnetism demonstration apparatus designed for experiments involving the free suspension of a bar magnet, magnetic pole orientation, magnetic direction and magnetic meridian. The MT-1334 incorporates a bar magnet supported in a stirrup arrangement and suspended from a suitable support, allowing the magnet to rotate freely during physics laboratory investigations.
Product Specification
The Stirrup with Bar Magnet from Micro Technologies is designed for practical physics laboratory demonstrations involving the directional behaviour of a freely suspended permanent magnet. The apparatus provides a simple mechanical arrangement in which a bar magnet is supported horizontally and allowed to rotate with minimal restriction.
The MT-1334 incorporates a bar magnet positioned within a supporting stirrup. The stirrup is suspended using a fine thread or suitable suspension arrangement, allowing the magnet to turn freely about a vertical axis when properly balanced.
A freely suspended bar magnet tends to align approximately along the north-south magnetic direction under the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. This makes the apparatus particularly useful for demonstrating the directional property of magnets.
The setup can be used to identify the north-seeking and south-seeking ends of a bar magnet. By allowing the suspended magnet to settle naturally, users can observe its preferred orientation and relate this behaviour to fundamental principles of terrestrial magnetism.
The apparatus is also useful for introducing the concept of the magnetic meridian. Repeated suspension and observation can help demonstrate how a freely rotating magnet tends to return toward a consistent directional orientation.
The stirrup supports the bar magnet while allowing it to remain substantially horizontal during the experiment. Correct balancing of the magnet within the stirrup helps provide smooth rotational movement and clearer observation of its final orientation.
The MT-1334 can also be used to investigate the effect of bringing another magnet near the suspended bar magnet. Changes in orientation can demonstrate magnetic attraction, repulsion and interaction between magnetic fields.
Its open configuration allows the movement of the suspended magnet to remain clearly visible throughout the demonstration. This makes it useful for both individual experiments and group laboratory demonstrations.
The apparatus can complement magnetic compasses, bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, magnetic needles and other magnetism equipment for broader investigations involving magnetic poles, magnetic fields and terrestrial magnetism.
Its straightforward mechanical construction requires no electrical power, making it convenient for repeated laboratory demonstrations and routine experimental applications.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Stirrup with Bar Magnet is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, magnetism demonstration facilities and research environments requiring practical investigations of magnetic orientation and suspension.

FAQs
What is a Stirrup with Bar Magnet used for?
It is used for experiments involving free suspension of a magnet, magnetic direction, magnetic pole identification and magnetic meridian.
What is the Micro Technologies model number?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1334.
Why is the bar magnet suspended in a stirrup?
The stirrup supports the bar magnet while allowing it to rotate freely about a vertical axis, making its directional behaviour easier to observe.
What happens when a bar magnet is freely suspended?
When sufficiently isolated from nearby magnetic disturbances, a freely suspended bar magnet tends to settle approximately along the north-south magnetic direction due to interaction with Earth's magnetic field.
Can this apparatus demonstrate the magnetic meridian?
Yes. The preferred direction in which the freely suspended magnet settles can be used to introduce and demonstrate the concept of the magnetic meridian.
Can magnetic poles be identified using this apparatus?
Yes. The orientation of the suspended magnet can help distinguish its north-seeking and south-seeking ends.
Can another magnet be brought near the suspended magnet?
Yes. A suitable magnet can be brought near it to demonstrate changes in orientation caused by magnetic attraction, repulsion and field interaction.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The MT-1334 is a mechanical magnetism demonstration apparatus and does not require electrical power.
Is it suitable for terrestrial magnetism experiments?
Yes. It is useful for introductory investigations involving Earth's magnetic field and the directional behaviour of permanent magnets.
Where can the Stirrup with Bar Magnet be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, science laboratories, magnetism demonstration facilities and research environments.
