About this course

Skip About this course

This course covers 9 challenging topics in AP® Physics 2. Well-respected AP instructors from around the USA will lead you through video, assessment questions, and interactive activities.

Each module breaks these tricky topics into bite-sized pieces—with short instructional videos, on-screen simulations, interactive graphs, and practice problems written by many of the same people who write and grade your AP® Physics 2 exam.

Topics include:

  1. Electrostatic Fields
  2. Gravitational and Electric Potentials
  3. Electromagnetic Induction
  4. Capacitance
  5. Thermodynamics
  6. Pressure, Force & Flow in Fluids
  7. Mirrors & Lenses
  8. Diffraction & Interference
  9. Atomic Transitions
