Deflection Magnetometer
Product Code : JA-PLE-4147
The Deflection Magnetometer (SKU JA-PLE-4147) is a compass box fitted on a polished wooden base that carries a metre scale along its length, used to study the field of a bar magnet by measuring how far it deflects the compass needle at known distances. This deflection magnetometer with metre scale is a standard item in college and senior-school magnetism practicals, and JaincoLab supplies it with a removable compass box.
Specifications
The magnetometer has a compass box fitted on a polished base of non-warping wood, with a metre scale alongside its length, and the compass box can be removed from the base when it is needed separately.

Applications of the deflection magnetometer with metre scale
A bar magnet is placed on the base at a measured distance from the compass, in the end-on or broadside-on position, and the deflection of the needle is read; comparing deflections and distances lets students compare the magnetic moments of two magnets or verify the inverse cube law.
- Comparing the magnetic moments of two bar magnets by the equal-distance or null-deflection method
- Verifying the inverse cube law for the field of a short bar magnet
- Measurements in the end-on (Tan A) and broadside-on (Tan B) positions
- Use with a vibration magnetometer to find the magnetic moment of a magnet and the horizontal component of the earth’s field
