AP Physics C

The AP Physics Exams are designed to test students' achievement in the AP Physics courses. These courses are intended to be representative of courses commonly offered in colleges and universities, but they do not necessarily correspond to courses at any particular institution. Nevertheless, it provides a systematic introduction to the main principles of Physics and emphasizes the development of conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability.

Topics Covered in AP Physics C

In the typical Physics C course, roughly one-half year is devoted to mechanics. There is a profound use of calculus in derivations and while solving problems, and the use of calculus increases with course progress. In the second half of the Physics C course, the primary emphasis is laid on the study of classical electricity and magnetism. Calculus, as aforementioned, provides the mathematical derivation of observed phenomena and principles. The broad outline of study of Physics C can be categorized as:

• Newtonian Mechanics (50%)
• Electricity and Magnetism (50%)

Most colleges and universities include additional topics such as wave motion, thermal Physics, optics, alternating current circuits, or special relativity in a C course. Since there is very little uniformity in curriculum of wave motion, optics and thermal Physics, they have not been included in the Physics C curriculum. Induction of supplementary material has been one of the recommendations by The Development Committee.

The AP Physics C Exam

 Physics C has two exams:

• Physics C (Mechanics)
• Physics C (Electricity and Magnetism)

Calculators are allowed on the free-response section of the AP Physics Exam. Non-programmable and non-graphic calculators are allowed. In the multiple choice section, calculations are very simple and few. Thus, a candidate can do without using a calculator. Sharing of calculators is impermissible during exams. In case of a calculator malfunction or no calculator with a candidate, it is the duty of school administration to provide the candidate with a calculator.

Table of information and equations is provided by the administration. There is a hands-on laboratory component as well. A hands-on laboratory experience is one in which students are allowed to manipulate, observe, explore and think about science using concrete materials. A Science-educator must guide a Hands-on lab.

The AP Physics Exam preparation for the students through TransWebTutors.com includes the study of topics of Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism those are covered in AP Physics exam (see the section discussing topics covered as above). We help the students to solve the free response questions from each and every corner of AP Physics course and provide the students hundreds of multiple choice questions for their practice from each and every topic so that the student gets ready before going for the exam.
