AP - Physics C - Electricity and Magnetism
Completion of a summer assignment may be required for this course. Advanced Placement Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is designed to be the equivalent of a college level course in calculus-based physics.  This course provides the same foundation available in college for students majoring in the physical sciences or engineering and is an intensive and analytical course with calculus applied whenever appropriate.  AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism provides instruction in each of the following content areas: electrostatics, conductors, capacitors, and dielectrics; electric circuits; magnetic fields; and electromagnetism.  Minimum grades of “B” or higher in Pre-Calculus Honors and AP Physics 1 are good predictors for success in this course.  It is expected that all students take the AP Physics C – Electricity and Magnetism exam in May.
