Eduscope India is a leading Deflection Magnetometer
Quick Answer:Deflection Magnetometer measures the Earth's magnetic field and a bar magnet's field strength using the tangent law of magnetism.
A compass box sits on a polished, non-warping wooden base chosen to keep the scale alignment accurate over years of use, with a meter scale running the length of the base so the distance of a bar magnet from the compass needle can be read directly. The compass box itself is removable and can be repositioned as an experiment requires. With no magnet nearby, the needle settles along north-south with the Earth's horizontal magnetic field; placing a bar magnet at right angles to this line deflects the needle through an angle whose tangent equals the ratio of the magnet's field to the Earth's horizontal field — letting students work out a magnet's field strength, or compare two magnets directly, as part of a physics lab equipment India electricity and magnetism syllabus.
