Magnet horse shoe
Product Description
The Magnet Horse Shoe is a classic U-shaped permanent magnet commonly used in laboratories for experiments involving magnetic fields and forces. Made typically from ferromagnetic materials like steel or rare-earth alloys, this magnet is designed with two poles positioned close together in a horseshoe shape to concentrate the magnetic field between them, creating a strong and uniform magnetic area. The compact design allows easy handling and application in physics demonstrations, magnetic field studies, and educational experiments. Its durable construction ensures long-lasting magnetic strength and resistance to mechanical wear.
