You can take both without prior knowledge, but you should have a basic understanding of derivatives and integrals before taking Physics C.

I only took AP Physics C - mechanics in HS, so I can’t really say which AP is easier or harder. I took the equivalent E/M course at MIT (8.02). Both courses were pretty fun, but IMO C - mechanics has more interesting problems.
