Assessing students’ conceptual knowledge of electricity and magnetism [PDF]
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017 We present the Electricity and Magnetism Conceptual Assessment (EMCA), a new assessment aligned with second-semester introductory physics courses. Topics covered include electrostatics, electric fields, circuits, magnetism, and induction.

“The Principles of Magnetism and Electricity” [PDF]
Nature, 1901 THERE are two points occurring in the review (p. 434) of “The Principles of Magnetism and Electricity” in which the author appears to me to be correct, though the examples are given as instancing errors into which he has fallen. The reviewer states, “The author measures magnetic force in dynes and difference of potential in ergs,” thereby apparently ...

Maxwell's “Electricity and Magnetism.” [PDF]
Nature, 1889 THERE is apparently a trifling slip in § 360 of Maxwell's “Electricity and Magnetism.” The ratio of the resistance of pure iron at 100° C. to the resistance at 0° C. is there stated to be 1˙645. This ratio is evidently calculated from the results given in Matthiesen's paper on the influence of temperature on the electric conducting power of thallium ...

Electricity and Magnetism [PDF]
Undergraduate Lecture Notes in PhysicsIn this two-part activity, students learn about electromagnetism by constructing electromagnets and observing their behavior. They will discover that there is a close relationship between electricity and magnetism in that moving magnets can induce ...

Multidimensional Item Response Theory and the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Quantitative Methods in PER: A Critical Examination.] While many studies have examined the structure, validity, and reliability of the Force Concept Inventory, far less research has been performed on other

Exploring one aspect of pedagogical content knowledge of teaching assistants using the Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism [PDF]
Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018 The Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism (CSEM) has been used to assess student understanding of introductory concepts of electricity and magnetism because many of the items on the CSEM have strong distractor choices which correspond to ...
