AP® Physics C - Mechanics & AP® Physics C - Electricity and Magnetism
All Genders Course; Prerequisite - Successful completion of Calculus; Full Year Course
Course Overview
AP® Physics C is a calculus based, college-level physics course that covers both AP® Physics C courses: Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism. The first semester is a dive into the principles of Newtonian mechanics where students explore forces, energy, systems of particles, linear momentum, circular motion, rotation, oscillations, and gravitation. The second semester treats electricity and magnetism where students explore electrostatics, circuits, capacitors, magnetism, and induction. Upon completion of this course, students are able to reason qualitatively and quantitatively, including the use of differential and integral calculus, in order to solve problems and explain phenomena. Students develop an inquiry-based approach to learning and a methodical approach to problem solving. This course is intended to prepare students for the AP® Physics C Mechanics and E&M Exams in May.
“It’s noticing the way things work beneath your own nose. Seeing things from a different perspective is really great. You can see there are multiple ways of doing things, and instead of just picking one, you can take a little bit from each way. I think it’s definitely helped me and I’m really glad I got to do it.”
