1
AP Physics C Some Potentially useful information
2
AP Physics C The course is broken into 2 main parts : 1) electro-magnetism (e-statics, fields, circuits, e/m interactions, etc.) 2) mechanics (motion, forces, energy, etc.) Of the 2 main parts, electro-magnetism is much more difficult and we will cover that in the 1st part of the class
3
AP Physics C We cover less topics than AP Physics B but cover them in more detail and depth “Math expectations”: some calculus is used but it is at a fairly basic level. If you are taking calculus concurrently or have had one class in this you should be fine.
4
AP Physics C Class structure We’ll break the topics into units of which there are about 12 units. Each unit will consist of…. “lecture” & discussion, ideally a lab (not all units will have a lab) Text book problems AP Problems from past years Quiz at the end of the unit (free response plus multiple choice)
5
AP Physics C Much of the class time will be spent working on problems from the book, workbook, or computers. Use the time wisely while you are here and you’ll be successful
6
AP Physics C The AP Physics C test There are 2 different tests, 1)mechanics and 2) electro-magnetism Each has a separate score and fee$$$. Last year’s scores Mechanics: 100% pass rate (ave = 4.1, 17 students took the test) E/M: 73% pass rate (ave = 3.5, 15 students took the test)
7
AP Physics C So….it’s your senior year……….. Be here because you plan on a science major in college (or you really like physics) Taking the AP test?
