AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a calculus-based, college-level physics course — appropriate for students planning to major in physical science or engineering. This course prepares you to take the AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism exam. Topics include electrostatics, electric circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetism, and conductors, capacitors and dielectrics. Introductory differential and integral calculus are used thoroughly. This course may be combined with the fall semester AP Physics C: Mechanics to create a full-year course option.

This Student-Paced course is a time-flexible course format that empowers students to complete rigorous and connected learning experiences while accommodating significant outside commitments, including travel, athletics, internships and camp. Students have full access to course materials and activities throughout the term. They work closely with teachers to set individualized weekly benchmarks to create accountability and build consistency. Students interact with teachers and peers via discussion threads, collaborative readings, video posts and other media. Students have the opportunity to meet live for orientation and introduction at start of term, progress check at midterm, and culminating presentations at end of term.
