Course title
AP Physics C: Electricity and MagnetismPre-requisite
AP PhysicsCourse description
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a semester-long calculus-based physics course designed to be equivalent to an introductory university-level physics course when taken in conjunction with AP Physics C: Mechanics (OP051). In this course; the main focus is on electricity and magnetism; including exploration of electrostatic force; electric fields; electric potential; simple circuits; magnetic fields; induction; and EM Waves. By completing lab work (a combination of at-home labs and virtual labs); students reinforce their understanding of concepts; gain hands-on experimentation experience; and develop their written communication skills. This course prepares students for the AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism exam; though the scope of the course is not limited exclusively to the AP curriculum. Prior completion of AP Calculus BC is advantageous but not required.
