AP Physics C Electricity & Magnetism

AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism delves into the principles of electricity and magnetism, exploring concepts such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and circuits.

Practical Applications

Wireless Power and Communication

Cutting the Cord

Electromagnetic fields make modern wireless technology possible, from charging pads to Wi-Fi.

How It Works

  • Wireless chargers use magnetic induction to send power to devices without wires.
  • Communication signals (like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) use electromagnetic waves to transmit data through the air.

Benefits

Wireless tech makes life more convenient, enabling mobility and new ways to connect.

Examples

  • Charging your phone by placing it on a wireless pad at a coffee shop.

  • Streaming music to wireless earbuds using Bluetooth.
