Course: AP Physics C (E&M)



AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism is a mathematically rigorous course. It is equivalent to a second-semester college course in calculus-based physics. The course covers electrostatics, conductors, capacitors, dielectrics, circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetism. Instruction consists of textbook readings, lectures, labs, demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Weekly problem sets give students physical problem-solving experience.The course uses advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus throughout the year.  The pace is faster, and the problems are significantly more difficult, than at the Honors Physics level. This course provides a strong foundation for future study in a wide variety of technical disciplines, including physical science, engineering, computers, and medicine. Students are required to take the AP Physics C E&M examination in May
