My solutions for the AP Physics C: Electricity & Magnetism - Free Response Questions 2023 Set 2, publicly released. Problems located at apcentral.coll...
I am taking an alternative testing date due to schedule conflicts. The questions in set 1 & 2 seem very connected theme wise and I was wondering if that would remain the same for makeups? P.S. no matter the answer this was such an amazing guide thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the kind words! I regret to say that I'm not 100% sure as I've never seen which types of questions are typically administered during make ups in the past. For the purposes of scoring they could be similar themes to those in the publicly released exams, but it's also worth taking that with a grain (or several) of salt since they could easily change the themes due to the originals being already out there, therefore giving make up testers an "advantage" if they have the same themes. That being said, I do notice that typical AP exams have one electrostatics/conductors/capacitors question, one circuits question, and one (electro)magnetism question on the FRQ. I hope that carries over to the make up, and best of luck!
@@shahsphysicsvideos9979 thanks for the tips! Not sure when I am allowed to express my thoughts on the exam after taking it, but when I get the go ahead I’ll make sure to update you on what they chose.
Thanks for your comment! You're definitely correct that there are two loops, so Kirchhoff's Junction Rule is a great way to approach it. I still think that my answer is correct because immediately after the wire is connected, we still have that V1=V2 for the capacitors. That means that the current through resistor 1 has to equal 0 (since C1, R1, and C2 all form a closed loop as well), therefore meaning that I1 is 0 and I2 = V2/R still. I'm not 100% sure on it but that's something I was just thinking about when I was trying to figure out the correct answer just now again.
It really does. I struggle with parsing such long prompts unless I can read it aloud. I felt drained after these more so because of the sheer amount of careful detail in the prompts and with how long they were.

3e) think that there are 2 loops (one for each capacitor) , I = I1 + I2 = Q/3RC + Q/6RC = Q/2RC

not me literally watching Mr. Shah's AP videos to study for Mr. Shah's circuit test. Hopefully this will get me out of the hot water
LETS GO MY COMMENT IS HEARTED BY MR SHAH. IM GONNA ACE THE E&M AP NOW AND GET OUT OF THE HOT WATER
no way you have a youtube channel wtf
do you teach at my school
#2 looked so complicated when i first read it LOL
