Abstract

This study aims to make a temperature sensor using coil wire with an indicator in the form of light intensity and to test the sensitivity of iron, copper, and nichrome wires in responding to changes in temperature. The temperature sensor unit consists of a coil of 250 turns, connected in series with a 3V/32W DC lamp and a 3 volt constant voltage source. As a medium, a room illuminated by a 100 watt lamp was used, where the lamp voltage is adjusted from 50 V to 150 V via slide regulator to produce a medium temperature from 30°C to 100°C, while for the indicator lamps, the light intensity of the lamp is measured with a luxmeter UT383. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between changes in medium temperature to light intensity for copper and iron coils while the nichrome coil is not. From the linear regression on temperature and light intensity data, the sensor sensitivity of copper and iron wire coils is (1.34 ±0.06) lux/°C and (7.33 ± 0.43) lux/°C, respectively. From these values can be known that the temperature sensor of the iron coil is more sensitive than copper, but the copper coil is more precise in indicating temperature than the iron coil. From this research, a temperature sensor unit made of copper and iron coils has been successfully made to measure the temperature of the medium from 30°C to 100°C using a light intensity indicator.

Abstract

Newtonian mechanics remains a fundamental yet conceptually challenging domain for high school students. Numerous studies have shown that students consistently hold alternative conceptions that contradict scientific understanding, particularly in relation to Newton’s laws of motion. This study aimed to explore senior high school students’ misconceptions in Newtonian mechanics through a qualitative investigation. Data were collected from 28 Grade 11 students in an Indonesian high school using open-ended diagnostic tests, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Thematic coding identified four major categories of misconceptions: inertia, force–motion relationships, action–reaction interactions, and free-body diagram representations. Among these, misconceptions of Newton’s third law were the most dominant, with the majority of students believing that the object with greater mass exerts a greater force during interaction. Inertia misconceptions, such as the belief that motion requires continuous force, were also widespread. The findings confirm that students’ misconceptions are robust cognitive frameworks reinforced by everyday experiences and traditional teaching practices. Pedagogically, the results highlight the importance of incorporating inquiry-based learning, multiple representations, and cognitive conflict strategies to promote conceptual change. This study contributes to the literature on physics education by providing context-specific insights into persistent misconceptions in Newtonian mechanics and suggesting implications for more effective teaching practices.
