Each month we receive hundreds of emails from our customers telling us how they use their magnets. We thought we would showcase some of these here for your inspiration:
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are neodymium magnets?
- Neodymium magnets are a rare earth magnet and represent the strongest permanent magnets currently available! They are composed of neodymium, iron and boron (NdFeB).
- What are neodymium grades (N35, N40, N42, N45, N48, N50, N52)?
- Neodymium Magnets are graded by their magnetic energy, the higher the grade, the higher the magnetic energy.
- What does the magnets pull represent?
- Pulling force is a measure of magnetic strength. This quantifies how much weight (kg) the magnet can support when measured vertically from the magnet's pole when placed on an equal thickness of steel in comparison to the thickness of the magnet.
Science & Education Magnets
Science Magnets are great for school and science projects. Our range of science and education magnets have been specifically tailored to meet the needs of schools across UK and Europe. If you have a passion for science and creating science projects our magnet science kits and educational alnico bar magnets are perfect for those scientific experiments.
For the more experienced science professional we offer FerroFluid, a unique liquid which is affected by a magnetic field. Our selection of iron powder and filings is a great way to educate to learners of all ages how magnets and magnetic fields work! So what are you waiting for? Put on that lab coat and order your perfect science & education magnets from the UK’s leading supplier of high performance magnets for education.
Note: All the magnets in the Science & Education section are suitable for children over 14 years old. FerroFluid should only be used under the supervision of an adult.

Magnet Resources:
Magnetic Field Paper
Magnetic field paper when placed over a magnet will clearly identify and show the areas between north and south poles. This micro-encapsulated film can instantly show the position of poles and the pitching between them on magnets. These sheets are not magnetic but are incredibly popular for magnet demonstrations in schools. Our magnetic field paper can be re-used and is extremely thin, flexible and durable making it easy to tightly wrap around circular surfaces.
Iron Powder
Iron powder and filings are perfect for sprinkling onto a sheet of A4 paper to show the magnet lines of a magnet. Simply place the magnet under the paper and watch the filings move around to show the magnetic field lines of any given magnet. Iron powder and filings are our recommended choice of magnet accessories for schools and universities.
Horseshoe Magnets
When we think of magnets… many people will think of the traditional horseshoe magnet. The image of this iconic magnet has been planted in our brains from those experiments in the science lessons at school. We have a wide range of various horseshoe magnets ranging from the traditional shape and size, to larger horseshoe magnets capable of supporting up to 23 kilograms in a steel weight. If you are unsure whether horseshoe magnets are right for you, why not call our Technical Department on 0845 519 4701?
Magnetic Pole Testers
Are you a professional scientist, engineer or science enthusiast? Do you need to find and identify the correct magnetic poles of a magnet? Or measure the field strengths of a magnet? First4magnets.com has a great range of magnetic pole testers and a high quality portable gauss reader. If you need technical advice on purchasing the right pole tester please contact our friendly Technical Sales Team on 0845 519 4701
Science Magnet Kits
Are you looking for a starter science kit for home or school learning? We offer two great science kits for young learners. Our Traditional alnico horse magnet & Iron powder set is perfect for demonstrating the magnetic fields of a magnet and is available at an outstanding price. For more advanced science professionals our Ferrofluid Starter kit is perfect for demonstrating how magnet liquid works. Please take extra care when using ferrofuid as it can splash and permanently stain clothes and surfaces.
Popular Science Magnets
Each day we receive many calls from school, universities and professionals looking for particular magnets for teaching and exams. To help you find the right magnet we have put together a selection of magnets based on these enquiries. If you are unable to find the magnet you are looking for here please contact a member of our technical sales team. Telephone: 0845 519 4701.
NOTE: Our F301N is now noted on the official OCR website in use for exams for A-level students.
Bar Magnets
Bar magnets have been used in schools, universities and science projects for many years and now extremely popular worldwide. Traditionally constructed using alnico material bar magnets are covered with two different colours that clearly indicate the north and south poles of the magnet. This makes them perfect for teaching young learners basic magnetic theory and principles.
