Utilização de um experimento hidráulico em analogia com um circuito elétrico, para melhorar a aprendizagem em eletricidade

Abstract

In order to make the learning of electric-electronic circuits less abstract and offer a tangible and contextualized alternative is presented in this paper a hydraulic experiment that compares effectively through analogies, hydraulic quantities and the basic variables of an electrical circuit. Easy visualization of hydraulic variables is allowed using an experiment that print the electricity learning process a better understanding of electrical phenomena and may also be used in the classroom. Produced with low cost and easy to purchase materials, construction of the experiment was motivated by the difficulty that students have to understand some definitions in the field of physics that deals with electrical circuits. Electricity also has a complicating factor, which is that we can not see, it in this way, the many advantages aggregated to the project, justify participation and more effective interaction of students, producing an end result quite satisfactory.
