CliffsAP study guides help you gain an edge on Advanced Placement* exams. Review exercises, realistic practice exams, and effective test-taking strategies are the key to calmer nerves and higher AP* scores.
CliffsAP Physics B & C, is for students who are enrolled in AP Physics B or C, or who are preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination in AP Physics B or C. Inside, you’ll find hints for answering the free-response and multiple-choice sections, a clear explanation of the exam formats, a look at how exams are graded, and more:
Review sections of important material for each subject area
Review questions after each section, with solutions, explanations, and helpful comments
Two sample B Exams and two sample C Exams
Loads of diagrams, tables, and definitions to help you understand the information
Sample questions (and answers!) and practice tests reinforce what you’ve learned in areas such as vectors, mechanics (forces), motion, and thermodynamics. CliffsAP Physics B & C also covers the following areas:
Momentum, energy, work and power
Waves, geometric optics, fluid mechanics, atomic and nuclear physics (B Exam only)
Electric fields and forces, including electrostatics, electric potential, Coulomb’s Law, Gauss’ Law, conductors and capacitors, and more
DC circuits, including current, Ohm’s law, potential difference and DC circuits
Magnetic fields and forces, including Biot-Savart’s Law, solenoid, Faraday’s law of Induction, important formulas included in Maxwell’s Equations
This comprehensive guide offers a thorough review of key concepts and detailed answer explanations. It’s all you need to do your best — and get the college credits you deserve.
