Physics B vs Physics C

<p>This might sound a bit odd if I'm wrong, but I've heard that Physics B is harder than Physics C.
I don't see why that makes sense.
Is this true?</p>

<p>physics B covers more ground than physics C. However physics B does not require calculus and physics C does. Physics C only covers mechanics and e/m. It does not cover optics or anything like that. basically, physics B is more general and physics C is more detailed. but i would say physics b is easier than physics c ifyou do not have a strong background in calculus. but calculus is only required for mechanics. so i would say it is up to the person to decide which is harder.</p>

<p>Easiest to Hardest:</p>

<p>Physics B, Physics C: Mechanics, Physics C: E/M</p>

<p>Oh God Physics C is so much harder.</p>

<p>After taking all three exams this year, I have to say the order from easiest to hardest is B, C-Mechanics, and C-E&M.</p>

<p>For one, the B test's calculations are really easy. As long as you have some sort of understanding of concepts, it's a breeze.</p>

<p>On the other hand, C requires you to actually know your stuff, or you get pretty screwed.</p>

<p>hm...thanks</p>

<p>that clears up everything.</p>
