so if magnetic field B is equal to
Tumblr media
and magnetic field B is also proportional to current I such that
Tumblr media
then alpha should be equal to
Tumblr media
right???
so then why the fuck did my lab manual give alpha as
Tumblr media
like where the fuck did that 8/(5 rad 5) come from. what the hell is that lol

Note
can u guys list the topics taught in ap physics or send like a link to the syllabus (i couldnt find it online? i wanna know what topics are taught in the class.
Response from Flitwick: 
Sure! I’ll even do you one better - I’m breaking down topics by quarter, listing some details on some of the stuff covered within each unit, and to this post, I’ll attach someone else’s study guide that I found relatively useful for a read, at the very least. 
First Quarter: 
Calculus - not the entirety of BC, obviously, but just enough so you can differentiate and do a bit of integration. This is done in the context of the following bullet point... 
Kinematics - Describe the motion of objects! Understand that position, velocity, acceleration are vectors, and know how to describe common types of motion such as projectile motion, circular motion (uniform, non-uniform coming later), and simple harmonic. 
Forces - Understand Newton’s Laws, especially the Second Law, and use a systematic method to analyze the actions of the forces acting on an object (or multiple objects!). Know the most common types of forces - tension, friction, gravitational, normal, restorative (spring), drag, etc. 
If you make it here, you’ve gotten over the steepest part of the learning curve for AP Physics, in my opinion. But it doesn’t really get any easier...
Second Quarter: This part of the course is all about conserved quantities. (done in some order, because the physics dept. seems to be changing around the way they do these units...)
Linear Momentum - Understand what it is (and I like to think of it as what force delivers from object to object), under what conditions it is conserved, and use that to solve problems. Discuss the center of mass and the center of mass frame. Usually, a discussion about rockets and collisions (elastic vs. inelastic).
Energy - Learn about conservative forces, potential energy, and generally, the conservation of mechanical energy. Understand the Work-Energy Theorem and what work is. Use the conservation of energy to simplify your analysis of easy problems(!!) and solve difficult problems. 
Rotation and Angular Momentum - Understand how to describe the rotation of an object (up to constant angular acceleration). Describe rotational equivalents of stuff in all the previous units, including torque, angular momentum, and rotational kinetic energy. Understand what the moment of inertia of a rigid body is and how to calculate it. 
Gravitation - Kind of a side topic, but also kind of invokes all the previous units, and is a good lead-up into E&M. Study Kepler’s Laws and Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, understand what they mean, and calculate stuff from them. Calculate gravitational fields using Universal Gravitation and superposition (integrating). 
Third Quarter: Electromagnetism makes an entrance...
Electrostatics - Learn about electric charge, and how they are sources/sinks of electric fields. Calculate electric fields using superposition and Coulomb’s inverse square law, and take shortcuts using symmetry and Gauss’ Law. Incorporate this knowledge with mechanical applications. Describe what electric potential is, and understand what are equipotentials and why they are special. 
Conductors/Circuits - Understand what a conductor is, and what properties they have in a steady state. Learn about the property of capacitance, and understand how to calculate it for a parallel plate capacitor (and other special setups). Understand Ohm’s Law (including in the differential form) and how you can use it to describe resistance, current, voltage. Combine this with Kirchoff’s Loop Rules (essentially glorified conservation of energy/charge) to analyze basic circuits. 
Fourth Quarter: 
Conductors/Circuits - Learn about time-dependent circuit problems, most notably RC circuits, and then later RL and LC circuits. Understand how capacitors store energy. Use Kirchoff’s Rules more and analyze more complex circuits, and answer more difficult questions with a more qualitative/intuitive understanding of what goes on in a circuit. 
Magnetism - Learn about the Lorentz Force Law, and how magnetic fields apply a force on a charge, but DON’T actually do work to the charge. Understand that magnetic fields always form closed loops and that we can calculate their strength using the Biot-Savart Law or take a shortcut with Ampere’s Law. Know how to apply Faraday-Lenz to bring back (magnetic) flux. Look at the solenoid as a case study as an inductor, and understand the property of inductance. 
There’s usually some extra stuff that the AP teachers like to do, like correcting Ampere’s Law to assemble all four of Maxwell’s equations for you to finish off the year, and then have some AP review. I’ve heard in past years they even do some special relativity if they have time, but often they do some sort of project to end the year. 
As promised, a link to someone else’s study guide for AP Physics that I kind of like/is useful, even if it’s got some errors and looks kinda scuffed: https://www.facebook.com/groups/316519978541744/permalink/924092767784459/
Good luck in AP Physics next year! It’s a tough class, and I hope you can get through it :)
