Alnico Horseshoe Magnet

This magnet creates an especially strong magnetic field, with dramatic repulsion and attraction properties sure to pique young children's interest.

The strong field (will lift four pounds) and horseshoe shape make this a perfect magnet for hands-on science in a magnetic/non-magnetic activity or a magnetic "fishing" game. Aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloy. 1¼" x 2"; ¼" thick.

Please note: The magnet comes with a "magnet keeper" (also known as an armature). It is placed across the poles of a magnet to help preserve the strength of the magnet by completing the magnetic circuit. The magnet keeper will also keep the magnet from attaching itself to external metal when not in use.
