Book(s) with problems on classical electromagnetism

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around recommendations for books that contain problems related to classical electromagnetism, including various laws such as Gauss's Law, Faraday's Laws, and Maxwell's Equations. Participants are seeking resources that include both solved and unsolved problems to aid their studies.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant mentions studying "A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations" by Daniel Fleisch and expresses a need for additional books with problems on classical electromagnetism.
  • Another participant recommends a new book that separates problems from detailed solutions, allowing for independent problem-solving before checking answers.
  • A third participant echoes the previous recommendation but notes the book's cost as a concern, providing a currency conversion to illustrate the expense.
  • A different participant shares information about another book scheduled for publication, suggesting it may also be a useful resource.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for books with problems in classical electromagnetism, but there are multiple recommendations and no consensus on a single preferred resource.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express concerns about the cost of recommended books, which may limit accessibility. Additionally, the publication date of one suggested book may affect its availability.

Who May Find This Useful

Students and educators in physics, particularly those focusing on electromagnetism and seeking problem-solving resources.

I started studying the book "A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations" by Daniel Fleisch some time back. It is an excellent book, giving a very good idea about the main laws of electromagnetism.

I will soon finish the book. Now I need some book(s) which has problems on all the laws in classical electromagnetism, like Gauss's Law on electric and magnetic fields (differential and integral form), Faraday's Laws, Ampere-Maxwell Law, Maxwell's Equations, and others.

It would be helpful if the book contains solved problems as well as unsolved ones.

I recently found this very new one. As far as I can see, it's excellent. It has the problems and (very detailed!) solutions separated. So you can do the problems first yourself, without seeing the solutions before.

That's a bit costly for me at this moment. $1 is about 65 Indian Rupees. So, $60 would be somewhere around Rs. 3900. Maybe I'll buy it later month.

Anyways, thanks for the reference.
 
This book is scheduled for publication this July:
