AP Physics C

This course is divided into 2, one-semester courses:

AP Physics C (Mechanics): This is the first of the two courses. AP Physics C: Mechanics focuses specifically on classical mechanics, which deals with the motion of objects and the forces acting upon them. It is an intellectually stimulating and rigorous course that prepares students for advanced studies in physics, engineering, and other scientific fields.
AP Physics C (Electricity and Magnetism): This is the second of the two courses. AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism focuses specifically on the principles of electromagnetism, including electric fields, magnetic fields, and their interactions. This challenging, demanding course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and mathematical tools used to describe electric and magnetic phenomena.
