We briefly review some previously published results and present some original data on student understanding in introductory electrical engineering courses. These results indicate that many students do not understand or do not appreciate the model nature of circuit analysis in electrical engineering. Moreover, this lack of understanding or appreciation may affect their performance on standard tasks in circuit analysis, especially those that require a functional understanding of electric potential.
