Generating AP Physics Exams with TikZ

Mr. Thompson, an AP Physics C teacher, struggled to create professional-looking exams. Drawing free-body diagrams, circuit schematics, and projectile motion paths in standard word processors was incredibly tedious. He often resorted to hand-drawing diagrams and scanning them, which looked unprofessional and sometimes illegible.

He turned to the Latex PDF Generator to create comprehensive exams. By simply describing the physical scenario—like 'a block on a 30-degree ramp with friction'—the tool automatically generates the precise TikZ code to render the diagram perfectly alongside the problem statement.

1. Scenario Description: He types a prompt like 'Create a mechanics problem involving a pulley system with masses m1 and m2, including a force diagram.'

2. Tweaking: He asks the AI to 'add a friction vector' or 'label the tension forces'.

3. Formatting: He requests standard AP exam formatting with equation sheets included.

Mr. Thompson now produces exams that look identical to the official College Board tests. His students find the clear, computer-generated diagrams much easier to interpret, leading to fewer clarifying questions during exams and better overall performance.

When asking for diagrams, specify 'using TikZ' for the highest quality. You can also ask the tool to generate the solution key simultaneously, with step-by-step calculus derivations.
