Facts in the field show that the level of mastery of physics concepts of students in our country is still low. Often students get experience of science in everyday life but do not realize that the experience is related to science. This study aims to see the level of understanding of physics concepts regarding direct current electrical matter, factors that affect the level of understanding of student concepts, factors that increase student motivation in learning and the influence of student environment in learning.
