KOTA KINABALU, May 23 (Bernama) -- A teacher of an interior school in
Sabah has invented a pen that can help students of Physics to find the
direction of the magnetic field without having to use their fingers
under the traditional method.
The teacher, of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Tandek in Kota Marudu, has named the instrument "Pen Android" (Android Pen) or Pen A. Ironically, the teacher's name is Androd (rpt) Androd Sadian.
"This pen can help students learning about the electro-magnetic force to determine the direction of the magnetic field without having to use their fingers under the traditional method," he told reporters at a state-level Teachers Day appreciation dinner here last night.
(Under the traditional method, known as the right-hand rule, one has to point the thumb in the direction of the current and the fingers would curl in the direction of the magnetic field.)
Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun, who is also the state executive councillor for education, had launched the pen at the event.
Androd said the pen had received the approval of the Education Ministry and was expected to be marketed next month at RM7.50 per unit.
Masidi said the creative and innovative capability of teachers in Sabah was unquestionable.
Also at the event, the minister launched a book on the development of education in Sabah from 1881 to 1981, written by Dr Dayu Sansalu, a senior lecturer at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).
