Contribution: A didactic methodology, based on analytical expressions and experimental validation, to describe the process of abrupt current interruption in a series RL circuit, that considers real passive components and uses a toggle switch as disconnecting device. Background: In undergraduate courses, circuits adopted in transient analysis usually assume electrical switches in their ideal form, disregarding electrical impedance and its variation over time. Texts and instructors rarely point out these simplifications, so students can become confused. There is thus a need for a suitable switch model that yields a behavior consistent with real devices, while permitting a mathematical formulation of the inductor current. Intended Outcomes: That students should understand electrical component modeling, and how models can represent the physical phenomena that occur in electrical circuits. Application Design: An experiment, designed to evaluate students' perceptions of switch modeling, modeled a switch by using three different equivalent circuits of increasing complexity, to allow a more realistic simulation. Electrical switch modeling is described, with the models being based on measurements performed on a real circuit. Findings: Student performance was evaluated qualitatively through test scores, and quantitatively through a post-class questionnaire. The results indicate that 96.15% of the students were able to propose an accurate model of the electrical switch
