AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a rigorous, calculus-based course that explores the fundamental principles governing electric and magnetic fields. Covering topics such as electrostatics, circuits, magnetism, electromagnetic induction, and Maxwell’s equations, this course challenges students to apply calculus to solve complex physics problems. Through hands-on experiments, in-depth problem-solving, and real-world applications, students will develop a deep conceptual and mathematical understanding of electricity and magnetism. 

AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism thoroughly prepares students for the AP exam while building the analytical and critical thinking skills necessary for success in college-level physics and engineering. 

This course is an exciting opportunity to explore the forces that shape our technological world with the depth and rigor of university-level study.
