What the hell is the difference between Physics and Conceptual Physics?

I’m a junior and I take Conceptual Physics instead of just regular Physics. Are the two courses different from each other?

Theoretical Physics and Experimental Physics. What is the difference between those? It’s the same idea.

Here are some equalities:
“Conceptual” = “Concept” = “Thought” = “Theory” = “Theoretical”.

Yes. Regular physics deals more with things that you can easily see like machine scenarios and kinematics and things like that (physics 1). Conceptual physics (physics 2) deals more with things that you can’t see like electricity and magnetism.

Well, by see I mean easily. Yes you can see some effects of electricity and magnetism but it’s much easier to see a pulley, ramp, screw thread, or lever rather than a charged particle.
