Simple compass

Product Code : SCL-MBAVTOB-12950

Quick Answer: The Simple compass is a basic magnetic compass for introductory physics practicals: its freely moving needle lines up with the Earth’s magnetic field and turns near magnets and current-carrying wires.

Last updated: October 2026

Key Features

  • Magnetic needle that settles north-south for direction finding
  • Shows deflection near bar magnets and current-carrying conductors
  • Used to trace field direction around magnets
  • Supplied as one compass with an instruction sheet

About This Product

A simple compass is often the first instrument students use for magnetism: they find magnetic north, identify the poles of a bar magnet and plot field direction around it. Placed next to a wire carrying current, it shows the deflection behind Oersted’s law. It should be read on a flat, non-metallic surface away from strong magnets and metal tools. Educational Instrument can arrange export supply of the Simple compass to Uganda, Qatar, Lesotho, Sri Lanka and Bulgaria.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can students do with the Simple compass?

Find magnetic north, show attraction and repulsion near bar magnets, trace field direction around a magnet and observe needle deflection near a current-carrying conductor.
