{"product_id":"magnetic-needle-stand-plastic-1","title":"Magnetic Needle Stand - Plastic","description":"\u003cp\u003eA magnetic needle stand with a plastic base is a simple, non-magnetic laboratory tool designed to support a magnetic needle for demonstrating magnetism and identifying magnetic north. These stands are essential for physics experiments because their non-magnetic construction ensures the stand itself does not interfere with the needle's alignment with magnetic fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Magnetic Pillar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Typically made of plastic or non-ferrous materials like aluminium to avoid affecting magnetic readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePivot Point:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a carbon steel or sharp metal point at the top of the pillar to allow the magnetic needle to spin with minimal friction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStable Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e A wide plastic base prevents the stand from tipping during demonstrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard educational models usually range from approximately 40 mm (1.6 inches) to 115 mm (4.5 inches) in total height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecomended Needle: JN-P816B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: These stands are almost always sold separately from the magnetic needle itself.
