Three experiments inspired by secondary school students’ misconceptions about electricity and magnetism

Koudelková V., Dvořák L.

Abstrakt

The contribution describes three experiments which were inspired by the very frequent secondary school students’ misconceptions about electricity and magnetism. The first experiment relates to a charge on an insulator, the second one demonstrates qualitatively Coulomb’s law and the third experiment illustrates behaviour of a coil in a homogeneous magnetic field. The misconceptions are described as well as are the results of research that demonstrate a relevant misconception for each experiment respectively.
