Using Experimental Methods in Teaching Electric Current in Secondary School

Abstract

Methodological features of the study of the «Electric current in various environments» section of the physics course in high school is one of the most important sections that helps students understand the nature of electric current, its course in conductors and dielectrics. The main purpose of this chapter is to show students the physical foundations of electric current and how it occurs in different media (solid, liquid and gaseous media). And also to explain the differences between electrical conductors and dielectrics, their electrical properties.

Methodological foundations of training in this chapter will be aimed at considering the combination of theoretical and practical knowledge. Through various experimental and demonstration methods, students can see the behavior of electric currents in different environments. In addition, attention is paid to the development of skills in measuring and calculating parameters such as intensity, voltage and resistance of electric current in electrical circuits.
