About This Product
Iron filings are tiny pieces of iron that become small magnets in a magnetic field and line up along it. Sprinkled on paper above a bar magnet, they gather in curved lines from pole to pole, showing the shape of the field and where it is strongest. Tapping the paper gently helps the filings settle. Students sketch the pattern and compare it with the field of an electromagnet. The filings are kept dry and away from the eyes. The Iron Filling Powder can be supplied for export orders from Iceland, Costa Rica, Palestine, Burundi and Uruguay.
