Westermann, N.; Staacks, S.; Heinke, H.; Möhrke, P. – Physics Education, 2022
In high school, LC(R)-circuits are an integral component of physics education. We propose a new setup for exploring those circuits utilizing the magnetic field sensor of a smartphone in combination with the application phyphox, which reads and displays sensor input. Coils with high inductance and low resistance generate low frequency oscillations…

Slagle, Meghan; Brown, Helen; Egan, Catherine – Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, 2022
Students at a K-8 magnet school drastically lacked opportunities for physical activity throughout their school day. The authors (physical education teacher and graduate advisors) describe how the physical education teacher advocated and made positive change in her school. The physical education teacher conducted a physical activity needs…

Nuryadin, Bebeh Wahid; Rusman, Rusman – Physics Teacher, 2019
The Curie temperature, also called the Curie point, is the temperature at which magnetic material undergoes a phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic properties. The characteristics of permanent magnets appear below the Curie temperature--below 400 °C (673 K) for commercial ferromagnetic materials such as ferrite or neodymium. In…

Behroozi, F. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Many of the old demonstrations in electricity and magnetism can be performed more effectively and with greater visual appeal by using newly available neodymium magnets and color LEDs. For this reason several demonstrations, commonly used for teaching electromagnetic induction and Lenz's law, have received renewed attention in recent years. In…

Wagoner, Kasey; Flanagan, Daniel – Physics Teacher, 2019
This paper describes a new lab experiment where students explore the magnetic force on a permanent magnet placed inside a short solenoid. This lab is the fourth experiment performed in the second semester of the calculus-based introductory physics course at Washington University in St. Louis. The experiment is performed using a speaker (which…

Lincoln, James – Physics Teacher, 2019
There have been a few methods described in this journal and elsewhere for measuring the wavelength of the standing electromagnetic waves in a microwave oven. Typically, these involve melting chocolate, cheese, or some other substance on a plate that is prevented from rotating. In this article I describe a more dynamic and colorful technique that…

Hubbard, Lea; Datnow, Amanda – American Journal of Education, 2020
A growing number of schools across the globe have implemented design thinking (DT) as an instructional approach to increase student engagement, motivate creative thinking, and teach students to problem solve. Although offering significant opportunity to students, implementing DT can involve pushing against the traditional "grammar of…

Kontomaris, S. V.; Malamou, A.; Balogiannis, G.; Antonopoulou, N. – Physics Education, 2020
Electromagnetic radiation can be classified into two major types depending on its ability to detach electrons from atoms: ionising and non-ionising. The aforementioned categorization is significant due to the effects of ionising radiation on human tissue (e.g. carcinogenesis). However, many students around the globe cannot distinguish these two…

Campos, Esmeralda; Hernandez, Eder; Barniol, Pablo; Zavala, Genaro – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Identifying students' difficulties in understanding Gauss's and Ampere's laws is important for developing educational strategies that promote an expertlike understanding of the field concept and Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic phenomena. This study aims to analyze and compare students' understanding of symmetry when applying Gauss's and…

Lindsey, Beth A.; Stetzer, MacKenzie R.; Speirs, J. Caleb; Ferm, William N., Jr.; van Hulten, Alexander – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
In this paper, we seek to evaluate the extent to which students can follow a deductive reasoning chain when it is presented to them. A great deal of instruction in introductory physics courses is centered on presenting students with a logical argument that starts from first principles and systematically leads to a particular conclusion. This…

Bednarek, Stanislaw – Physics Teacher, 2018
The most common type of homopolar motor comprises a cylindrical neodymium magnet, a battery, and a non-ferromagnetic frame rotating around the battery. Here, the author substituted a coiled spring for the frame. Due to this change, a new and intriguing effect emerges, the axial buzzing of the spring during its rotation. This paper describes the…
