SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a review book for an electricity and magnetism course utilizing the 8th edition of Serway. The user seeks a resource that emphasizes problem-solving with practical examples rather than theoretical content. A recommended resource is the "Schaum's Outline" series, specifically "3,000 Solved Problems in Physics" by Halpern, which aligns with the course topics including electrical fields, Gauss's Law, and electromagnetic waves.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electricity and magnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with problem-solving techniques in physics
  • Knowledge of the topics covered in Serway's 8th edition
  • Ability to interpret and analyze physics problems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Schaum's Outline series" for additional physics resources
  • Explore "3,000 Solved Problems in Physics" by Halpern for targeted practice
  • Investigate supplementary materials for each course topic, such as electrical fields and Faraday's Law
  • Look into online forums or study groups focused on electricity and magnetism problem-solving
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in electricity and magnetism courses, educators seeking supplemental teaching materials, and anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills in physics.

I'm currently in an electricity and magnetism physics course and we're using the 8th edition of Serway.

I'm looking for a review type book that focuses on problem solving with examples and explanations rather than theory.

Here are the topics we are covering throughout the course:
23: Electrical Fields
24: Gauss's Law
25: Electrical Potential
26: Capacitance and Dieletrics
27: Current and Resistance
28: Direct Current Circuits
29: Magnetic Fields
30: Sources of the Magnetic Field
31: Faraday's Law
32: Inductance
33: Alternating Current Circuits
34: Electromagnetic Waves

Can you recommend me a book to help in my studies please?
