What is the main functions of educational magnet?

Educational magnets are essential tools for classrooms and science laboratories. From horseshoe magnets to bar magnets, these teaching aids have been used for decades to help students explore the invisible forces of magnetism. At HSMagnet, we provide a wide range of educational magnets designed to support teachers, parents, and students in learning physics in an engaging and safe way.

What Are Educational Magnets?

Educational magnets are typically made of Alnico magnets or Ferrite magnets, formed into U-shapes, bar shapes, or other designs. Unlike industrial magnets, these products usually have lower adhesion, making them safe for demonstrations and experiments while still strong enough to lift small metal objects.

Functions of Educational Magnets

The main functions of educational magnets include:

• Teaching Physics Principles: Demonstrating magnetic fields, poles, and attraction/repulsion.
• Hands-On Experiments: Allowing students to visualize how magnets interact with different materials.
• Classroom Demonstrations: Providing an interactive way to understand invisible forces.
• Practical Applications: Picking up small metallic objects and showing polarity with iron filings.

Horseshoe Magnets vs. Bar Magnets

• Horseshoe Magnets: U-shaped with both poles pointing in the same direction, offering stronger lifting power. Originally designed as a stronger alternative to bar magnets, they remain popular for educational demonstrations.
• Bar Magnets: Simpler in structure and widely used for polarity demonstrations, but generally weaker than horseshoe magnets.

Types of Educational Magnets

Ferrite Horseshoe Magnets

• Lightweight, cost-effective, and safe for children.
• Available in red-green or red-blue painted versions.
• Often combined with plastic or metal for durability.
• Environmentally friendly with optional N/S stickers.

Alnico Horseshoe Magnets

• Compact, high-power, and durable.
• Suitable for demonstrations, lifting, sorting, and retrieval.
• Can withstand high operating temperatures (up to 500°C).
• Supplied with metal keepers to retain magnetic strength.
