Newman, Richard; van der Ventel, Brandon; Hanekom, Crischelle – Physics Education, 2017

Probing university students' understanding of direct-current (DC) resistive circuits is still a field of active physics education research. We report here on a study we conducted of this understanding, where the cohort consisted of students in a large-enrollment first-year physics module. This is a non-calculus based physics module for students in…
