About This Product
The Precision compass suits practicals where students record field direction and needle deflection rather than only find north. It is used around bar magnets and coils, beside a current-carrying conductor and in basic navigation lessons. Keep it away from strong magnets, phones, motors and metal objects when taking a reading.
