AP Physics II/ UCONN ECE (Early College Experience) (0632) Credit 1.0

AP Physics II is a second-year course for students with previous coursework in the subject. It is an algebra- based, college-level course that explores topics such as fluid statics and dynamics, thermodynamics with kinetic theory, PV diagrams and probability, electrostatics, electrical circuits with capacitors, magnetic fields,

electromagnetism, physical and geometric optics, and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics. Students will think critically, construct solid arguments and solve problems using a variety of approaches. Significant time is spent designing and conducting experiments.

All AP Physics II students must take the AP exam in May to receive credit. AP test fee paid by students. UCONN ECE CREDIT IS OPTIONAL. Guidelines set by UCONN, students must complete the UCONN final exam and pay an additional application fee to receive 4.0 UCONN credits.
