Floating Magnets – Coloured (Product Code: SLE/PHY/173) is a magnet demonstration set used to show magnetic repulsion in primary and secondary school science classes. Five coloured ceramic magnets, each 32 mm in external diameter, are mounted on a 150 mm high wooden pole and hover apart when like poles face each other. The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

When the magnets are stacked on the pole with like poles facing, each one floats above the next, and pressing the top magnet down lets students feel the repulsive force pushing back. Turning one magnet over so that unlike poles face makes it snap onto its neighbour, giving an instant contrast between attraction and repulsion. It is a quick, visual addition to any magnetism experiment kit in Indian classrooms.
Students can also notice that the gaps are smaller towards the bottom, because the lower magnets carry the weight of those above — a neat link between magnetic force and gravity. Keep the set away from computers and magnetic cards, and do not drop the ceramic magnets, which can chip.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — the company behind the ScienceLab name — is the OEM for this floating magnet set and makes its magnetism apparatus at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Schools and distributors deal directly with the manufacturer, and questions about spare magnets or repeat sets go to the same source; just ask us. Company background is on our profile page.

How many magnets are in Floating Magnets – Coloured?
Floating Magnets – Coloured contains a set of 5 ceramic magnets, each with a 32 mm external diameter, mounted on a 150 mm high wooden pole so they can float above one another by magnetic repulsion.
What are the floating magnets made of?
The magnets in Floating Magnets – Coloured are ceramic magnets. Ceramic magnets are strong for their size but brittle, so students should lift them off the wooden pole gently and avoid dropping them onto hard floors.
What does Floating Magnets – Coloured demonstrate?
Floating Magnets – Coloured illustrates magnetic repulsion forces: with like poles facing, each magnet hovers above the next. Reversing one magnet shows attraction instead, so both behaviours can be compared in one short demonstration.
Is Floating Magnets – Coloured suitable for young learners?
Floating Magnets – Coloured suits primary and middle school science because the effect is visible without instruments. Supervise younger children, as small magnets should never be swallowed and ceramic pieces can chip if dropped.
Who manufactures Floating Magnets – Coloured?
Floating Magnets – Coloured is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied directly to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can Floating Magnets – Coloured be ordered in class quantities?
Yes, Floating Magnets – Coloured can be quoted in classroom quantities for schools and distributors in India and international markets. Send the number of sets and your delivery location through the contact page to receive a quotation.
