PH406 AP Physics C: Mechanics (II)/Electricity and Magnetism (I)
Offered:
2011 Prerequisite: Final grade of B or higher in PH404 AP Physics C: Mechanics (I), and permission of the Dean of Science.
Corequisite: MA422 AP Calculus BC (Advanced Topics II).
Meeting pattern: 4 periods per week including lab
This course provides the completion of classical mechanics (in particular, the study of angular momentum and of gravitational fields) and an introduction to electronic forces and fields, Gauss‘ law, capacitance, and voltage. Calculus is used where needed and is treated at a level appropriate to students who are taking MA422 AP Calculus BC (Advanced Topics II). Completion of PH404 and this course may be used to prepare for the Mechanics portion of the AP C Physics examination, but its breadth and depth are significantly higher than that of a typical AP C Physics course.
