Hardware stores such as Lowe's, Ace, and Home Depot may have a drawer in the fasteners section that is labeled "Science Experiments" and may carry small horseshoe magnets of a size commonly used in science classes. There are many vendors online that will sell magnets, one of which is www.unitednuclear.com, where they sell a wide variety of magnets designed for more complex experiments.
Also, in many Canadian cities Dollar shops have those magnets.

What happens when horseshoe magnets get attracted?
They make horseshoe magnet babies.
When would two horseshoe magnets attract each other?
When the north and south magnets face the opposite pole.
How do you make a horseshoe magnet?
In general, magnets are brittle and will break before they bend. And yes, refrigerator magnets bend, but in them the magnetic material is powdered. But if we took a bar magnet and bent it, we'd have a horseshoe magnet. It's not quite that simple to make a horseshoe magnet, but it isn't too tough, either.
What are the different types of magnet?
bar magnet, horse shoe magnet,ball ended magnet and cylindrical magnet.I recomend doing the iron shavings and bar magnet experiment.x.x TRY IT .There are 3 types o magnets parmanent, temporary, and electromagnets.you can also use water andblue food colloring to create a magnetic field.Bar Magnet, horseshoe magnet etc
What is a U shaped magnet called?
Magnets don't have to be that shape, but it is sometimes a convenient shape, when using it to attract a piece of magnetic material. Magnets can be straight bars, or cubes, or various other shapes.
Are horseshoe magnets and U magnets the same?
In general, yes. Horseshoe magnets are usually more sturdy while u-magnets are basically toys. I'm open to correction here.

Is magnetite in horseshoe magnets?
yes
When would two horseshoe magnets attract each other?
When the north and south magnets face the opposite pole.
What are the different shapes of magnets?
Horseshoe, Bar, U, Ring, Circle, etc.

What are the uses of horse shoe magnet?
Horseshoe magnets are used to teach the properties of magnets to students. They are also used to pick up metal items.
How many kinds of magnets are they?
only one... but there are difrent shapes...
What happens when you push 2 horseshoe magnets together?
they either stick together or push away
What is the difference between the magnetic fields of horseshoe and bar magnets?
Horseshoe magnets have a stronger magnetic field at their poles compared to bar magnets, which have a more uniform magnetic field along their length. The horseshoe shape concentrates the magnetic field lines at the poles, making them more effective for picking up magnetic materials. Bar magnets have a weaker magnetic field at their ends but are more versatile in their application.
What is a horseshoe magnet?
Magnet shaped like a horseshoe, so both the polarities are pointed the same way. They can be weak or strong magnets (my dad had a couple when we were kids... we put a broomstick in them and did chin-ups from the I-beam in the basement, because they were strong enough to hold a 12-year-old's weight easily). Here is a site with a picture of some: http://www.indigo.com/magnets/gphmgnts/chrome-steel-horseshoe-magnets.html
What shapes do magnets come in?
There is no restriction in the shpae of magnet it can be of any shape but the most common shapes are horseshoe, bar and ring
