Research-Based Course Materials and Assessments for Upper-Division Electrodynamics (E&M II)
Charles Baily, Michael Dubson, Steven J. Pollock
Favorable outcomes from ongoing research at the University of Colorado Boulder on student learning in junior-level electrostatics (E&M I) have led us to extend this work to upper-d…
Upper-division Student Understanding of Coulomb's Law: Difficulties with Continuous Charge Distributions
Bethany R. Wilcox, Marcos D. Caballero, Rachel E. Pepper +1
Utilizing the integral expression of Coulomb's Law to determine the electric potential from a continuous charge distribution is a canonical exercise in Electricity and Magnetism (E…
ACER: A Framework on the Use of Mathematics in Upper-division Physics
Marcos D. Caballero, Bethany R. Wilcox, Rachel E. Pepper +1
At the University of Colorado Boulder, as part of our broader efforts to transform middle- and upper-division physics courses, we research students' difficulties with particular co…
