New Interpretation

Because Maxwell's classical electromagnetic theory is a macroscopic electromagnetic theory, this paper attempts to establish a new theory of microscopic expression of macroscopic electromagnetic theory to compensate for the shortcomings of macroscopic electromagnetic theory at the micro level. Among them, under the microscopic electromagnetic theory system, the current will be further interpreted as the momentum flow produced by the directed collision between electrons; the charge will be further interpreted as a form of expression of electron motion; the voltage will be further interpreted as the potential difference (energy level difference) of the electron orbit. Finally, this paper successfully developed a new theory of microscopic expression of Maxwell's macroscopic electromagnetic theory by introducing microscopic atomic physics and rigid body mechanics models.

The theory of screws was largely developed by Sir Robert Stawell Ball over 100 years ago to investigate general problems in rigid body mechanics. Nowadays, screw theory is applied in many different but related forms including dual numbers, Plilcker coordinates and Lie algebra. An overview of these methodologies is presented along with a perspective on Ball. Screw theory has re-emerged after a hiatus to become an important tool in robot mechanics, mechanical design, computational geometry and multi-body dynamics.

Rotational Dynamics is one of the physics topics which is quite difficult for students. Several previous studies showed students’ difficulties on this topic, one of which is the aspect of students’ conceptual understanding. Modeling instruction is the effective approach to improve students’ understanding. This model is in line with constructivist theory and cognitive model theory. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of modeling instruction that we developed to improve students' conceptual understanding of rigid body mechanics, where the knowledge of particle mechanics serve as anchor or bridging to develop model of rigid body. This research used mixed method with embedded experimental design. It used one group pretest-posttest design and involved 65 students of a high school in Malang as the subject. Data were gathered using test consisting of 17 multiple-choice items with explanation. The students’ scores were analyzed quantitatively using t-test and N-gain to measure the improvement of students’ understanding, while the students' reasons were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed the average students’ score increased from 1.62 to 9.92 with N-gain of 0.54 (in upper medium category). We concluded that the modeling instruction was effective to improve students’ conceptual understanding.
