Abstract :
For pt.I see ibid., vol.38, no.1, p.1-6 (1995). In part I an introductory course to electric network analysis was described. Some educational measures showed passing rates and students´ insight to be unsatisfactory. In this paper we analyze problems that students have to solve. Examples of the difficulties that students have are presented. Several kinds of problems can be distinguished. Difficulties in concepts and some measures to support concept formation are discussed. Finally, a possible change in the overall sequence of problems is proposed
