Hey guys I was going through the aamc guide, and it wasn't specific on whether the Mcat was going to cover rc and ac circuits etc. Does anyone know if these topics are covered on the Mcat? Thanks!

I believe it's just the basics of dc circuits and not ac.

Yeah, you don't have to worry about ac circuits on the test!

Awesome! What about RC? Anyone know? Thanks!

capacitors are fair game

re-opening this thread as a friend showed me that they came across the topic of AC circuits in TPR. It's not in Kaplan or the AAMC topics list so I don't think it's tested. Any other input?

Its not as far as I can tell.

You can easily figure this out by looking at the AAMC content outline. Under "Circuit Elements" it lists "Capacitance," which includes "Capacitors in series" and "Capacitors in parallel." I don't see anything about AC, but I just did a quick look so you should double check.
