Practice Problems & Review

Practice Problems - These come from another teacher whom I respect. However, he does things in a different order, so you may not have enough information for some of the questions...just skip them. I'm happy to help with any.

Review- This is based on the order of how we're doing things.

Slides

I use many of these slides in class. I create some others which aren't included here, and I don't use some of these, but it is most of what you've seen.

10.1 - Electric Charges

10.2 - Coulomb's Law

10.3 - Adding Vectors

10.4 - Topography

10.5 - Electric Fields (Vector Fields)

10.6 - Electric Potential (Scalar Fields)

10.7 - Electric Potential Energy

10.8 - Parallel Plates

10.9 - Capacitors

10.10 - Capacitor Properties

Videos

AP Daily videos are available on AP Classroom.

Flipping Physics - Johnathan Thomas-Palmer is in the business of making videos for AP classes. He doesn't have 100% of them done for AP physics 2, but the ones with links here are available. The attached lecture notes might be useful as well.
