Inside the AP Physics C lessons

The 14 chapters begin with “motion with derivatives and integrals” and end with “faraday's law, inductors and LR circuits”, and in between show calculus working as a physical tool: “drag forces and terminal velocity with calculus” solves for terminal velocity, “moment of inertia by integration and torque” finds moments of inertia by integration, and “flux, Gauss's law and continuous charge” applies Gauss's law to continuous charge. Each chapter opens with a quick answer, states the law and formula with units, and works through at least two examples, with the integrals written out in full. Three or more diagrams, key points, a common mistake, a tip from Lina and five questions and answers complete the chapter.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the AP Physics C lessons for?

They suit US high school students preparing for the AP Physics C exams who already use derivatives and integrals.

How is a chapter organised?

Each of the 14 chapters opens with a quick answer, explains the idea step by step with worked examples and diagrams, and ends with key points to remember, a common mistake to avoid, a tip from Lina and five frequently asked questions. Read from “motion with derivatives and integrals” to “faraday's law, inductors and LR circuits”, or jump straight to “orbits, escape speed and gravitational energy” if that is the topic you need.

What comes after the AP Physics C lessons?

The next step is a first-year university physics course, where the same calculus-based methods continue.
