Electromagnetic Concepts in Mathematical Representation of Physics.
Albe, Virginie; Venturini, Patrice; Lascours, Jean
Journal of Science Education and Technology, v10 n2 p197-203 Jun 2001
Addresses the use of mathematics when studying the physics of electromagnetism. Focuses on common electromagnetic concepts and their associated mathematical representation and arithmetical tools. Concludes that most students do not understand the significant aspects of physical situations and have difficulty using relationships and models specific to magnetic phenomenon. (Author/SAH)
