Physics 12, version 03 (Print)

Physics 12 rigourously covers a variety of topics about energy, orbital motion, and electromagnetism. While of value for many students who are interested in the physical world, it is mainly a course for those going on to study science, computer science, or engineering in post-secondary institutions. This course has two components: a basic component using text and print material only.

A set of three optional video tapes used to be available for this course, however, due to increased copyright costs and low yearly sales, these are no longer stocked. The course can still be completed without viewing the video tapes. There is a Supplement you can order which is a "bare bones" summary of the course labs and video tapes.

PLEASE NOTE: The following textbook is referred to in this course. Stock may be low or depleted already. Students need to purchase their own from local libraries, publishers, or online book stores:

Physics: Principles with Applications, Sixth Edition (ISBN-10: 0-13-060620-0 or ISBN-13: 978-0-13-060620-4)

Please note that student term tests and instructional guide (answer keys for section assignments and term tests) are available for this course.
