How Does a Magnetic Field set up if a Current in Conductor is Turning on?
G.N. Gaidukov, A.S. Ovchinnikov
National Research University of Electronic Technology

In the solution of problem on the formation of electric and magnetic fields by changing in time current, Maxwell's equations are used, but mostly little-known remarkable formulas  O. D. Jefimenko. Formulas represent the solution of Maxwell's equations, and demonstrate a direct dependence of the   and   fields and their sources: the charge   and current densities , as well as their time derivatives  and . These formulas not only provide a simpler way than in the case of reliance on Maxwell's equations to obtain the solution of many problems, but do not contribute to the formation of the prejudices, according to which variable electric field is a source of magnetic, and variable magnetic - a source of electric fields.
Keywords: Maxwell’s equations, formulas O.D. Jefimenko, formation of electric and magnetic fields by changing in time current.

Petrozavodsk State University; e-mail: katerina_teteleva@sampo.ru , sergey.r.bogdanov@mail.ru

Objects and phenomena of natural environment seem poorly explored in Russian system of science education. Meanwhile this resource possesses the great motivational potential for studying physics. In particular most ancient games, due to unique interplay between context and content, may serve as the origin and framework for working out open-ended teaching units on mechanics. In this paper the cluster of context sensitive research-based kinematics problems based on «Gorodki» game was constructed. Such problems urge students to concentrate on highlighting goals, developing models, planning experiments, analyzing assumptions and consequences.
Keywords: research-based education, kinematics, ancient games.

The results of final stage of «Rosatom» Olympiad in physics for high school graduates have been analyzed. The measuring properties of the Olympiad tasks were analyzed, such as: equity of variants, error of measurement. The correspondence between item difficulties and abilities of participants was analyzed. Modern test theory IRT was used. It was proved that the item difficulties were in accordance with the level of abilities of the participants. The used scoring system ensured correct ranking of participants and reliable selection of the Olympiad winners.
