Case of two electrostatics problems: Can providing a diagram adversely impact introductory physics students’ problem solving performance?
Drawing appropriate diagrams is a useful problem solving heuristic that can transform a problem into a representation that is easier to exploit for solving it. One major focus while helping introductory physics students learn effective problem solving is to help them understand that drawing diagrams...
