Physics 12 expands on Physics 11 by extending the study of motion to 2-dimensions. This includes the study of motion, forces, momentum, energy. It also deals with unique cases such as equilibrium, circular motion as they apply to the motion of the planets(gravitation).

The course also has a significant section on the physics of electricity including electric force and electric field, electric potential energy, and electric potential. This includes being able to apply this knowledge to electric circuits, motors, and generators.
