The Effect of Field Representation on Student Responses to Magnetic Force Questions
We examine student understanding of the magnetic force exerted on a charged particle and report three findings from a series of tests administered to introductory physics students. First, we expand on previous findings that many students believe in ÔøΩchargedÔøΩ magnetic poles and find that although students may answer according to a model where a positive charge is attracted to a south pole and repulsed by a north, these students may not...
