AP Physics C – Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism Department: TJHSST - Science Credits: 1.0 Weighting: 1.00 TJHSST Description: Students study a mathematically substantial formulation of Newtonian mechanics (first semester) and electricity and magnetism (second semester), including vector and calculus-based treatment of particle kinematics (motion), Newtons interaction model, energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, systems of particles, oscillators, and Newtonian gravity in the first semester. Topics covered in the second semester include electromagnetic fields, superposition, electrostatics, magnetostatics, induction, electric currents and elementary circuits, Maxwells equations in integral form and the Lorentz force law. Students should allot time to complete at least seven hours of quantitative problem solving homework per week to attain mastery. Students are thoroughly prepared to take both the Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism sections of the Advanced Placement Physics C examination. TJHSST Comments: AP Calculus BC is strongly recommended as a prerequisite but can be taken concurrently. 10th graders taking AP Physics may not ’drop back’ to Physics 1 as 10th graders. Description: Advanced Placement Physics is a second-level course which surveys a broad selection of physics topics at a level above Physics 1. It is designed for students who have completed a core science curriculum and are now ready to pursue more advanced and specialized studies in mechanics, electricity, and magnetism. AP Physics C serves as the foundation in physics for students who wish to pursue physical science or engineering degrees. Students are required to take both the Mechanics Advanced Placement exam and the Electricity and Magnetism Advanced Placement exam and may be given college credit and/or placement if a qualifying score is achieved. 1
