Physics B

This course covers the second semester of physics will cover a whole set of new topics, using the skills mastered in the first semester. Students will learn a whole set of new topics, using the skills mastered in the first semester. The major units will be waves, heat, electricity and magnetism. The study of light will include reflection, refraction, and lenses, while electricity will contain subtopics of static electricity (Coulomb’s Law),
current flow using Ohm’s Law and series and parallel circuit design, and capacitors.
Again, a working knowledge of algebra and geometry will aid the student at being successful in physics! Prerequisite: Physics A, two years high school science, Algebra II.
