Description:

Advanced Placement (AP) Physics C course is designed to acquaint students with topics in mechanics and classical electricity and magnetism. The course covers two semesters. The first semester is devoted to Newtonian mechanics including: kinematics, laws of motion, work and energy, systems of particles, momentum, circular motion, oscillations, and gravitation. The second semester discusses the topics of electricity and magnetism. The course emphasizes problem solving including calculus, and there are numerous interactive examples throughout. Students will also gain laboratory experience through interactive lab simulations and wet labs. Upon completion of this course students will understand the basic principles pertaining to Newtonian mechanics, classical electricity, and magnetism, and apply these principles to solve practical problems in these areas of study. Students may take the first halfcredit of the course without taking the second half-credit but may not take the second half-credit of the course without taking the first half-credit.
