2. Electric Circuits: A New Approach--Part 1.

Author

Shipstone, David and Cheng, Peter C-H

Abstract

Shows how box diagrams and AVOW diagrams may be used to solve problems concerning networks of resistors that obey Ohm's Law. Presents outcomes and feedback from students and teachers. Concludes with suggestions as to how these techniques might be incorporated into the teaching of basic circuit theory. (Contains 22 references.) (DDR)

3. Questions of Sign.

Author

Brunt, G.

Abstract

Argues that the correct use of positive and negative signs in textbooks is often ignored and that this misuse might be because the authors are unaware of some basic rules. (DDR)

4. RC Circuits: Some Computer-Interfaced Experiments.

Author

Jolly, Pratibha and Verma, Mallika

Abstract

Describes a simple computer-interface experiment for recording the response of an RC network to an arbitrary input excitation. The setup is used to pose a variety of open-ended investigations in network modeling by varying the initial conditions, input signal waveform, and the circuit topology. (DDR)

5. Physics Notes.

Abstract

Describes a versatile electric circuit, a simple and inexpensive vibration generator, and digital electronics demonstrations (with light bulbs) using a microcomputer. Also discusses bimetallic strips and their use as thermostats and the electrical resistance and resistivity of metals. (JN)

6. Teaching the Common Emitter Amplifier.

Author

Ellse, Mark D.

Abstract

Describes experiments in which a bipolar transistor is used to examine the behavior of a simple circuit. Also addresses problems in teaching the related concepts. (The experiments can be modified to incorporate devices other than bipolar transistors.) (JN)

7. Some Strategies for Teaching Electronics to Less Able Pupils.

Author

Ainley, D.

Abstract

The three principal commercially published science projects for less able/motivated students include units on electronics. A simple and inexpensive method of constructing electric circuits is described. Suggestions for making the material in the published units applicable to circuits found in everyday situations are offered. (JN)

8. Mastering the Integrals of Basic Electricity and Magnetism.

Author

Burge, E. J.

Abstract

Suggests an approach to understanding the integrals associated with teaching electricity and magnetism at the college level. Categorizes integrals that are commonly used, explains the significance of paired usage and presents a method for introducing concepts. Provides a review of symbols and for integrals in college textbooks. (CW)

9. Sixth-form Electronics

Author

Pilliner, Geoffrey W.

Abstract

Discusses the teaching of electronics, to secondary school seniors, as a means of building up a wide range of concepts basic to science and engineering. (JR)

Published

10. Microcomputer Controlled Experiments.

Author

Kirkman, John and Knaggs, David

Abstract

Describes a microcomputer-controlled system which determines the current/voltage characteristics of a resistor, lamp, and diode, detailing system elements, construction, and providing printout of the program developed to provide control and arithmetic functions necessary to complete the experiment. (SK)
