AP® Physics 2

Put simply, a circuit is a closed conducting wire loop with some elements in the mix, such as batteries, resistors, and capacitors. Only batteries and resistors are covered in AP® Physics 1; Physics 2 also covers capacitors. In this article, we’ll review the characteristics of circuits, resistors, and capacitors and do some example problems similar to those on the AP® Physics 1 and 2 exams.
