Inside the AP Physics 2 lessons
The 12 chapters run from “gas particles, pressure and heat conduction” to “energy levels, radioactive decay and binding energy”. The chapter on “heat, work and engines on PV diagrams” teaches how to read work and heat from a pressure-volume diagram, “magnetic flux, Faraday's law and Lenz's law” explains why Lenz's law gives the induced current its direction, and “photons, work functions and matter waves” introduces the photon picture of light. Each chapter opens with a quick answer, states the law and the formula with every symbol and unit, and works through at least two examples. Three or more diagrams, key points, a common mistake, a tip from Lina and five questions and answers complete the chapter, so the book works as a first read or a final revision.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the AP Physics 2 lessons for?
They suit US high school students preparing for the AP Physics 2 exam, ideally after a first algebra-based physics course.
How is a chapter organised?
Each of the 12 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 “gas particles, pressure and heat conduction” to “energy levels, radioactive decay and binding energy”, or jump straight to “magnetic fields of wires and forces on moving charges” if that is the topic you need.
What comes after the AP Physics 2 lessons?
AP Physics C is the next step for students who want the calculus-based treatment of mechanics and electricity and magnetism.
How do I get the AP Physics 2 lessons?
Pay once with PayPal and the PDF is ready to download at once. It opens on up to 3 devices, so it can live on a laptop and a tablet.
