I'm looking to get a book on introductory Electrodynamics. I've already seen recommendations for This one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/013805326X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 But it seems really expensive. Are there any other good books for ED? Also, does intro ED require linear algebra?

This is a question from a chem textbook but it seems relevant to electrodynamics/quantum mechanics. The energy to ionize a hydrogen atom in its ground state is given by: En = -Rhc / n2 Ei = Rhc (because the electron is being taken to infinity) = 1312kJ/mol The book claims that to ionize...

Hello there, I would like to just say before beginning that this is an excellent forum, and I have found it invaluable as a prospective physics student. I'm looking for an undergraduate Electricity & Magnetism text which will lead me into, and through, my Physics degree. Just a bit of...

After deriving the self energy, or the energy to construct a charge configuration\frac{\int_{V} \epsilon E^{2}dV} {2} (where V is the volume over which the E-field of the configuration extends.) Griffiths goes on to say that the energy required to construct a point charge using the above...

My mother has always insisted that I have a cell phone with text capability. She says that she's heard that sometimes when cell phone service is not available, people will still be able to send text messages. I believe she's thinking that after a natural disaster, like an earthquake, all the...

Hello, Im struggling with a pretty horrendous lecturer for this 2nd year course, so am trying to learn a lot of it myself with a decent textbook. I am getting pretty scared for the exam in summer. We have been reccomended Jewett & Serway, but its kinda just a general physics, and doesn't seem...

Hi, I'm new to Physics Forums, but I'm glad to be here. I'm in 10th grade and I'm very interested in physics. Since I was in an early grade (5th) I would scour my textbook and my library looking for anything related to physics. Unfortunately I didn't have enough math skill to understand...

I need program code that will extract part of a text string. For example, I have the following text string: '10-Nov-2009_0.91304_Network_N=100_k=6_p=0.02_COMM_NETWORK' and I want to wirte code that will result in a command N=100 (ie, assigning a variable N the value of 100). I have figured...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'd like to know: What's a good physics text that uses calculus? I mean, not just uses calculus in the definitions of velocity and acceleration and whatnot, but uses it in almost all the problems? I find my current text, "Fundamentals of Physics" by...

I'm going to take an engineering physics class which is just simply a calculus-based physics class. Any suggestions for a book? The class uses Serway's Physics for scientists and engineers, but I've heard of other authors like Resnick, Giancolo, etc. Thanks.

Hi, I'm taking a Fluid Mechanics course. The lecturer is very closely (letter to letter) following the book by Kundu and Cohen (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0123737354/?tag=pfamazon01-20). I think K&C has a bunch of isolated derivations with no examples or solved problems. The 'examples' they...
