AP Physics 2 is a full-year course that is the equivalent of a second-semester introductory college course in algebra-based physics.
Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore these topics: fluids;
thermodynamics; electrical force, field, and potential; electric circuits; magnetism and electromagnetic induction; geometric and
physical optics; and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics. College credit is possible via the AP Physics 2  examination. The policies for acceptance of AP Physics Exam credit vary from college to college.
