Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrator
Model Number: MTME-07
The Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrator is a reusable apparatus designed to provide a clear visual representation of magnetic field lines and field direction. Micro Technologies supplies the apparatus with 46 permanently fitted magnetic compasses arranged on an approximately 320 × 320 mm square wooden base. When a suitable magnet is positioned near the compass array, the individual compass needles align with the local magnetic field, allowing the overall field pattern to be observed directly. The permanently mounted arrangement provides convenient handling, storage, and repeated use.
Product Specification
The Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrator is designed for visual investigation of magnetic fields using an array of permanently mounted magnetic compasses. The apparatus provides a simple method for observing how the direction of a magnetic field changes at different positions around a magnet.
The demonstrator consists of approximately 46 magnetic compasses arranged across a square wooden base. Each compass responds independently to the magnetic field present at its particular location.
When a suitable permanent magnet is placed on or near the apparatus, the compass needles rotate and align themselves according to the local magnetic-field direction. Observing all the compasses together provides a clear representation of the overall magnetic-field pattern.
Micro Technologies supplies the demonstrator on an approximately 320 × 320 mm wooden base, providing sufficient area for convenient placement of magnets and easy observation of multiple compass orientations simultaneously.
Unlike arrangements that require individual plotting compasses to be positioned manually for every observation, the compasses in this apparatus are permanently fitted to the base. This reduces setup time and helps maintain a consistent measurement grid during repeated experiments.
The apparatus can be used with compatible bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, and other suitable magnetic sources. By changing the position or orientation of the magnet, different field patterns and directional changes can be observed.
The compass array also makes it possible to investigate the interaction of fields produced by more than one magnet. Different pole arrangements can be positioned near the demonstrator to observe how the resultant magnetic field affects the individual compass needles.
Its robust wooden base, permanently mounted compass arrangement, and electricity-free operation make the Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrator a practical apparatus for repeated magnetism and magnetic-field investigations.

FAQs
What is a Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrator used for?
It is used to demonstrate magnetic field lines and observe the direction of a magnetic field at multiple positions around a suitable magnet.
How many magnetic compasses are fitted to the apparatus?
The demonstrator is fitted with approximately 46 magnetic compasses.
What is the size of the wooden base?
The square wooden base measures approximately 320 × 320 mm.
Are the magnetic compasses removable?
The compasses are permanently fitted to the wooden base to provide convenient handling and consistent positioning.
How does the apparatus demonstrate a magnetic field?
When a magnet is placed near the array, each compass needle aligns with the local magnetic-field direction. Together, the compass orientations provide a visual representation of the field pattern.
Can it be used with a bar magnet?
Yes. A suitable bar magnet can be placed near the compass array to investigate the characteristic field around its north and south poles.
Can it be used with a horseshoe magnet?
Yes. Compatible horseshoe magnets can be used to observe the magnetic-field direction around and between the poles.
Can different magnetic-field arrangements be compared?
Yes. Changing the position, orientation, or number of magnets allows different resultant magnetic-field patterns to be investigated.
Does it require iron filings?
No. The apparatus uses magnetic compass needles to indicate field direction and therefore does not require loose iron filings.
Does the Magnetic Field Demonstrator require electricity?
No. It operates entirely through the response of the compass needles to magnetic fields.
What is the advantage of permanently mounted compasses?
Permanent mounting provides consistent compass positioning, reduces setup time, and makes the apparatus easier to handle and store.
Can Wooden Magnetic Field Demonstrators be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply these demonstrators in bulk for physics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional procurement.
