Application of Analogy Method in the Electromagnetism Teaching in College Physics

Abstract

Analogy method is a frequently-used effective teaching method. If use this method properly in teaching physical, the learning ability of undergraduate and the teaching efficiency can be improved remarkably. In electromagnetism teaching of college physics, the materiality, the external manifestation, the quantitative description, the fundamental theorem reflecting the nature of the field and the energy of electrostatic and static magnetic field aspect have similarities. By analogy, the students' familiar knowledge of electrostatic field inspires students to master the more difficult knowledge of static magnetic field; it allows students to better understand the difference and connection between electrostatic field and static magnetic field acquire the knowledge of electromagnetism more systematically and develop the students' creative thinking greatly.
