This page from the Institute of Physics provides research-based evidence that secondary students and college students majoring in science education often hold entrenched notions that magnetic fields and electric fields are the "same stuff" or are measured in the same way. The authors include a lab activity to help students build better understandings.
This page is part of a larger collection from IOPSpark that presents findings from academic literature about the conceptions (and misconceptions) young people have regarding processes in the physical world. See Related Materials for a link to the full collection.
