AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a rigorous, college-level course that delves into the fundamental principles governing electric charges, fields, circuits, and magnetism. It builds upon calculus-based physics concepts and requires a strong mathematical foundation.

Students will explore topics such as:

Electrostatics: understanding electric charges, electric fields, and their interactions.
Conductors, capacitors, and dielectrics: exploring the behavior of electric charges in different materials.
Electric circuits: analyzing the flow of electric current and energy in circuits.
Magnetic fields: studying the properties of magnetic fields and their interaction with electric currents.
Electromagnetism: investigating the relationship between electricity and magnetism, including electromagnetic induction.
The course emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and experimental design through laboratory work. It is designed to prepare students for advanced physics or engineering studies.
