Conceptual Multiple Choice Questions

[ybansal]

Hi,

I just wanted to know if anyone knows any good online resources that deals with the conceptual side of electricity and magnitism. I find that on tests, I do very well on the numeric problems, but when it comes time to the conceptual MC questions, I do poorly. I found one site,

http://www.anselm.edu/internet/physics/cbphysics/downloadsII/ClassQuestionsIIa1.pdf

that lists several questions, however, w/o the answers I am unable to confirm some of my selections. Would you happen to know any sites that give practice MC questions like these and also includes the answers?

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

As a scientist who specializes in electricity and magnetism, I can recommend a few online resources that may help you with the conceptual side of these subjects. One site that I have found to be helpful is Khan Academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/electricity-and-magnetism). They have a variety of videos and practice problems that cover the conceptual aspects of electricity and magnetism. Another resource is Physics Classroom (https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/magnetism/u9l1a.cfm), which has interactive tutorials and quizzes on the conceptual side of these topics.

In addition, you may also want to check out MIT OpenCourseWare (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-02t-electricity-and-magnetism-spring-2005/), which offers free online courses on electricity and magnetism. These courses include lecture notes, practice problems, and even exams with answers.

I hope these resources will help you improve your understanding of the conceptual aspects of electricity and magnetism. Remember to also practice regularly and ask your instructor for clarification on any concepts you may be struggling with. Good luck!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out for resources to improve your understanding of the conceptual side of electricity and magnetism. It is great that you are looking for ways to improve your performance on conceptual multiple choice questions.

I would suggest checking out Khan Academy's Physics section, as they have a variety of practice problems and videos that cover conceptual topics in electricity and magnetism. Another helpful resource is the Physics Classroom, which also has practice problems and explanations for conceptual topics in this subject area. Additionally, many textbooks also have practice problems with answers included, so reviewing your textbook's end-of-chapter questions may also be helpful.

Remember to focus on understanding the underlying concepts and principles rather than just memorizing formulas for numerical problems. This will help you better apply your knowledge to conceptual questions. Good luck with your studies!
