Direct linkScaife, Thomas M.; Heckler, Andrew F. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2011
We investigate student confusion of concepts of electric and magnetic force. At various times during a traditional university-level course, we administered a series of simple questions about the direction of force on a charged particle moving through either an electric or a magnetic field. We find that after electric force instruction but before…
