Difficulties Understanding the Explicative Model of Simple DC Circuits in Introductory Physics Courses
written by
Ane Leniz, Kristina Zuza, and Jenaro Guisasola
Research has shown [1] that understanding the relationship between electrostatics and electrodynamics requires meaningful knowledge about electric concepts. The aim of this investigation is to identify the scope of students' understanding about electric concepts related to the Drude model and the Surface Charge model. In this paper we will describe preliminary results from research at University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and at University of Washington (UW). Some specific examples of the applied questions will be discussed. It will be shown that introductory physics students do not give consistent explanations about the charge movement mechanism on simple DC circuits. The results will be used to develop instructional materials further.
