Investigating student understanding of cross products in a mathematical and two electromagnetism contexts
We investigated the influence of context on students’ understanding of cross products of vectors using three isomorphic multiple-choice tests asking for the direction of a cross product in different geometrical settings. One version of the test involved the Lorentz force, the second version involved...
