Introductory university physics students’ understanding of some key characteristics of classical theory of the electromagnetic field
In this work, we explore how undergraduate students use classical field theory when describing physical phenomena in the context of introductory electromagnetism. We have extracted five key characteristics of the electric and magnetic field from a historical analysis of the topic. These characterist...
