Compass Plotting (Clear)
Compass Plotting (Clear) (Product Code: SLE/PHY/37) is a plotting compass used to show magnetic field direction and trace the field around a bar magnet in school physics labs. Each 20 mm aluminium case has a clear plastic top and bottom, and the 10 mm steel needle, marked red at its north end, turns on a brass bearing. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and is packed in 12s for magnetism practicals.

What Is the Plotting Compass Used For?
Plotting compasses let students draw magnetic field lines for themselves. A bar magnet is laid on a sheet of paper, a compass is placed near one pole, and a dot is marked at each end of the needle; the compass is then moved so its tail sits on the last dot, and the process repeats until a line curves round to the other pole. Several lines drawn this way reveal the full field pattern, including neutral points when two magnets are used.
With a whole pack on the bench, a group can also set a ring of compasses around a magnet or a current-carrying wire and see the field direction at a glance. Keep compasses well away from strong magnets when stored, since this can weaken or reverse the needle, and check against the Earth's field that the red end points north before each lesson. They suit any bar magnet practical in Indian schools.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of packs; each pack contains 12 compasses.
- Whether you also need bar magnets for the same practical.
- Delivery location, for school, dealer or export supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many compasses are in a pack of Compass Plotting (Clear)?
Compass Plotting (Clear) is supplied in packs of 12, which is enough for several student pairs or for one group to surround a magnet with compasses and see the whole field direction at once.
What size is the Compass Plotting (Clear)?
Each Compass Plotting (Clear) has a 20 mm diameter aluminium case with a clear plastic top and bottom. Inside, a 10 mm steel needle with its north end marked in red is mounted on a brass bearing.
What is the Compass Plotting (Clear) used for?
The Compass Plotting (Clear) indicates the direction of a magnetic field and is used for tracing the field of a bar magnet. Students mark the needle direction at successive points and join the marks to draw field lines.
Who manufactures the Compass Plotting (Clear)?
Compass Plotting (Clear) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is sold factory-direct to institutions, dealers and importers.
How should the Compass Plotting (Clear) be stored?
Store Compass Plotting (Clear) away from strong magnets, which can weaken or reverse the needle, and keep steel objects clear while plotting. Before a lesson, check that the red-marked end points north when no magnet is nearby.
Can Compass Plotting (Clear) be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes, Compass Plotting (Clear) can be ordered in multiple packs of 12 by schools, dealers and importers, and ScienceLab supplies India and international markets. Share the number of packs and the destination to receive a quotation.
