Abstract

This work offers an unproblematic teaching tool for the instruction of challeng-ing concept of electric potential difference in a non-uniform electric field. Specifically, mathematical modelling process is employed and managed to comprehend and teach exceedingly difficult concepts of uniform and non-uniform electric fields, electrical potential difference, scalar products of vectors and also concept of path integral. In order to accomplish those tasks, initially a basic conducting panel/sheet, that is simply a wet cardboard, is designed as a part of the apparatus, together with a dc power supply, a multi meter and connecting cables. The established method is interesting in the sense that the 3D wet cardboard is novel, very practical and minimal costing, hence the approach offers physics educators fresh teaching routes and opportunities to clarify the puzzling concept of electrical potential difference and further.

Summary

Introduction

Physics resolves the nature and related phenomena on the base of decidedly complicated concepts and mathematical equations between those concepts. Around the globe, spend much effort to ease teaching complicated and so believed abstract concepts and equations such that every single student manages conceptual understanding and internalises the actual scientific knowledge (Retnawati et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2018). The actual mathematical equation includes the fundamental concepts of uniform or non-uniform electric field, electrical potential difference together with the distance within the electrical field and a path integral instructing the general form of potential difference have been a puzzling task for physics educators and teachers (Carlton, 1999; Cohen et al, 1983)
