In this paper we analyze the behavior of electromagnetic energy in RLC circuits, discussing the main student's difficulties on basic concepts involved and presenting two products originated in a research work: i) a set of computational modelling and simulation activities, developed with the software Modellus, taking into account such difficulties to help students to surpass them and ii) a test about the understanding of physics concepts involved in RLC circuits.
