My senior year of High School I have to choose between AP Physics 2 and Intro to Computer Science. Which is better? I plan to major in Electrical Engineering and have taken one Physics class already.
AP physics 2 includes E&M that may be of interest to an aspiring electrical engineer. However, it will not use calculus, which can make the treatment of E&M much more superficial, since college physics courses for engineering majors tend to use multivariable calculus in E&M.
Many electrical engineers do work that overlaps with computing, so having an introduction to computer science may also be helpful. Is the course similar to AP CS principles or a college course like https://cs10.org ? You may also want to consider going through https://cs10.org on your own instead.

Is Physics C an option at your school?
That would be my choice too.
bruh y even take introductory course for AP Physics it seems so pointless. 40% of students in Ap physics C mech dont even take AP physics 1 and get an A at my school at least.
