Dificultades de los estudiantes universitarios en el aprendizaje de la inducción electromagnética

The work presented deals with the ideas of first-year Engineering students and third year Physics students about the theory of electromagnetic induction (EI). In this investigation we analyse that part of the theory of EI relating to Faraday's law which comes within the basic analysis of induction phenomena for introductory physics courses within classical physics. In this work, the following research question arise: what conceptions and forms of reasoning do university science and engineering students use in explanations of electromagnetic induction phenomena? We found that very few students ...
