Study Strategies
Problem-Solving with Calculus
Mastering Calculus in Physics\n\nMany AP Physics C problems require calculus. Always start by identifying what needs to be derived or integrated. Draw diagrams, label knowns and unknowns, and set up equations before jumping into calculations.\n\nUse the chain rule, product rule, and integration by parts where needed. Don’t forget units and check your answers for reasonableness. Practice with past AP questions to get comfortable!
Examples
Using integration to find the electric field due to a continuous charge distribution.
Applying derivatives to analyze changing currents in RC circuits.
