Abstract
This work proposes the application of an experimental exercise to help Earth Sciences engineering students understand the concept of electric field, electric potential, capacitance and electrical resistivity. The methodology used includes the development of practical classes in the laboratory and the application of questionnaires. The analysis of the results showed that the majority of students identify the presence of the electric field in a conductive or dielectric material. Students also recognize that the experimental exercises are didactic and strengthen their understanding of the electric field.
