Hermann Härtel – European Journal of Physics Education, 2021
The abstract definition of electric power as "ability of a voltage source to do work" or quantitatively as "energy per unit charge" is preceded by a qualitative description in terms of the existence of surface charges. These surface charges and the associated electric fields can be demonstrated experimentally and allow a causal…

Ozden Sengul – European Journal of Physics Education, 2023
This paper describes a student-centered approach to teaching and learning physics in a high school classroom. The teacher designs and uses a 5E learning cycle to teach series and parallel electric circuits. This article provides an example of the implementation of 5E model for a physics lesson to address three-dimensional learning-science and…

Davis, C. E.; Piffer, J. L.; Cohen, M. D.; Polley, J. P. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Many physics textbooks describe the way in which a capacitor in an RC circuit charges and discharges over time. A circuit that consists of a capacitor that is connected to a voltage divider as shown in Fig. 1 is commonly addressed, but the textbooks limit the discussion to the time immediately after the switch is closed and a long time after the…

Planinsic, Gorazd; Etkina, Eugenia – Physics Education, 2019
In this paper we present activities that can help students deepen their understanding of DC circuits and develop practical competences. The students investigate electric properties of commercially available conductive thread and solve a practical design task using the thread. The activities follow the framework of investigative science learning…

Hahn, Marcelo; Cruz, Frederico; Carvalho, P. Simeao; Ferreira, Vanessa; Marques, Filipe; Macieira, Cláudio – Physics Education, 2021
Renewable energy is a trending topic due to its importance in today's society especially because of global warming. Because of its importance, this topic should be discussed at schools in an inclusive education environment. Experimental work is a very good activity to provide students effective conceptual discussions, but it is necessary to…

Sethi, Anubhav; Gupta, Yashika; Arun, P. – Physics Education, 2018
P-n junctions form the basic building blocks for any semiconductor device. Therefore, the complete understanding of the junction characteristics is very important. Although being a widely discussed topic in electronics, there are still some gaps such as finding the value and significance of the junction ideality factor, that needs to be addressed.…

Thompson, Frank – Physics Education, 2017
Experiments with Lecher Lines have always been important in the physics curriculum for demonstrating standing waves and the important concept that waves can be guided as well as being emitted into space. A system operating at low power (less than 10 mW) and in the frequency range 300 MHz to 800MHz is described and the wavelength of the radiation…

Kácovský, Petr – Physics Teacher, 2019
Providing instant visual feedback, thermal imaging cameras are becoming more and more popular tools not only in industrial applications, but also in physics education. Continuously decreasing prices, modules compatible with smart portable devices, and intuitive operation make thermal measurements available for schools and attractive for students.…

Aguilar, Horacio Munguía – Physics Education, 2016
An experiment with an electric transformer based on single coils shows how electromagnetic induction changes when the magnetic coupling between coils is adjusted. This transformer has two secondary outputs which are taken differentially. This is the basis for a widely used position transducer known as LVDT.

Noll, Robert J.; Hughes, Jason M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Many types of batteries power an ever-growing number of devices. Electrochemical devices like batteries and fuel cells can, in principle, exceed Carnot efficiency for energy conversion. In this novel laboratory experiment, students explore the partitioning of the enthalpy change of a battery's electrochemical reaction between useful electrical…

Davies, Tony – Primary Science, 2014
Teaching children about circuits and the way electricity works is a "tricky business" because it is invisible. Just imagine all eyes are on the teacher as he or she produces for the class what looks like a ping-pong ball and then, with a wave of their hand, the incredible happens! This wonderful white sphere begins to glow red and a…

Leone, Matteo – Science & Education, 2014
The present paper advocates the use of History of Science into the teaching of science in primary education through a case study in the field of electricity. In this study, which provides both historical and experimental evidence, a number of conceptual difficulties faced by early nineteenth century physicists are shown to be a useful tool to…
