SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on recommendations for textbooks on Electricity and Magnetism for engineering students. Participants suggest several titles, including "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway, "Engineering Electromagnetics" by Hayt and Buck, and "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffith. Additionally, a user mentions acquiring a used copy of David Cheng's book and highlights its positive reviews. A link to a freely downloadable text is also provided for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Electricity and Magnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with engineering physics principles

I just finished a Physics course in Electricity and Magnetism and never worked so hard for a 'B' in a class. I'd really like to go over the material once more to get a better handle on it during our break. I was thinking that a fresh approach with a different text might help, so I was hoping I could get some recommendations on textbooks. We used Physics for Scientists and Engineers by Serway, but I also have Engineering Electromagnetics by Hayt and Buck.

Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I found some reasonably priced used copy of David Cheng's book on Amazon and read some good reviews. I'm going to give it a try.
 
The books mentioned namely,Hyatt(though I find it to be relying too much on maths as a tool rather than sound physical explanations).

You should try out the book "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David.J.Griffith, an excellent text with great emphasis on physical reasoning.I think this should help.

I am including a link where you can find a freely downloadable text.Its good and you can explore further by following the several other links mentioned therein.
