Abstract

Problems in teaching and learning electricity can be addressed with the help of science history and philosophy. The literature on physics education and on history of science reveals two wide-reaching issues central to teaching electricity: sequencing concepts and identifying appropriate models to explain the macroscopic and microscopic aspects of electricity at different educational levels.
