Alnico U-Shaped Magnet
Product Code : EL-M-10304
Quick answer: The Alnico U-shaped magnet is a strong, long-lasting magnet with an 18 mm gap between its poles, supplied with a keeper. The fixed gap gives a consistent field region for placing wires, coils or compasses in experiments. Sizes are 50, 75, 100 and 150 mm long with an 11 x 8 mm section. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

Uses
The 18 mm pole gap is the working space of this magnet: a straight wire, a small coil or a plotting compass fits between the limbs, where the field is strongest and most uniform. Because the gap is the same across all four sizes, results can be compared between magnets of different length, and Alnico keeps the field steady over years of use.
It is used to show the force on a current-carrying conductor, to induce a current by moving a coil or wire through the gap, to map the field between the limbs with iron filings, and to compare its strength with chrome steel magnets of similar size.
