If I have question in EM at level of "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David Griffiths, should I post here or in the Introduction to Physics?

Here. Generally problems from lower-division courses belong in the introductory physics forum while problems from upper-division courses belong here.

You're lucky your professor uses Griffiths. Mine uses Reitz, its terrible by comparison. I brought Griffiths to supplement where my book is weak. They do compliment each other though...

Good luck with your course

I would say that the appropriate place to post questions related to "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David Griffiths would be in a forum or community specifically focused on electromagnetism or physics. While the Introduction to Physics section may cover some basic concepts related to electromagnetism, it may not provide the level of depth and detail that is needed to fully understand and discuss the concepts presented in Griffiths' textbook. Additionally, posting in a more specialized forum may allow for more targeted and helpful responses from experts in the field.
