Online E&M lectures (at the level of Griffiths)?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding online lectures for Electromagnetism (E&M) that match the level of Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics." A user mentions they are looking for resources beyond MIT's 18.02 and suggests a free e-book that includes a solution manual and old final exams. There is an acknowledgment that while some resources may be challenging, they could still be beneficial for tackling Griffiths' exercises. Participants agree that the easier problems in the suggested book may resemble the more difficult problems in Griffiths. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for supplemental materials to aid in understanding E&M concepts.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of any online lectures on E&M at the level of Griffith's "Introduction to Electrodynamics"? Either video or audio would be fine... I'm plowing through this book on my own, and could use a little assistance.
(I know about the lectures for 18.02 at MIT OCW, but I'm looking for something more at the level of 18.07...)

I don't know where there are any lecture notes, but I do have a link to this very nice e-book. It's free, and there is also a solution manual as well as old final exams (also with solutions).

Thanks. I'm not sure that "at roughly the same level as the well-known textbook by Jackson" isn't a bit more than I'm ready for, but I'm sure that some of the exercises (and solutions) will come in handy!

Yeah, sorry, it's all I've got.

Undoubtedly there will be some overlap. I would expect that the easier problems in this book might look like the mid-to-upper level difficulty problems in Griffiths. And those are the ones you will need help with anyway!

Good luck,

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
