Magnetic Pole Identifier
What is Magnetic
pole identifier ( Magnetic pole
searcher) ?
Magnetic Pole Identifier is a great
tool for identifying the poles of
magnets. A small magnet is painted
on both ends and is suspended, free
to rotate, in a plastic housing. The
blue end of the magnet is the North
pole and will point toward the South
pole of other magnets. The red end
is the South pole and will point
toward the North end of another
magnet.
This tool is even more useful for
showing the direction of magnetic
field lines. Magnetic field lines
connect the North and South poles of
a magnet. If moved around near a
magnet, the small magnet in the Pole
Identifier will rotate and keep the
magnet aligned with the magnetic
field line.
