I wasn't really sure where to post this, but I am currently taking a second year Electricity and Magnetism course this term. I want to be able to do well in this course in order to keep my GPA up, but I don't have a particular interest in this class and the prof flies through the material at a very fast pace so I have a heard time keeping up in class. What I would like to know if there is a particular good study guide or reference for Electricity and Magnetism that would help stimulate my interest for the subject or at least help me to understand it better? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

One great resource that I use regularly is the website Khan Academy. They have an entire section devoted to Electricity and Magnetism which includes a variety of videos, lessons, and practice problems. It's a great way to get extra practice and review the material in your course without having to take up too much extra time. Additionally, there are several textbooks available on the subject that can help you get a better handle on the material. I would suggest looking for books specifically tailored to a second-year Electricity and Magnetism course, as this will be more relevant to the topics you are learning. Ultimately, the best way to truly understand and retain the material is to work through practice problems on a regular basis. Try to find some time each week to go over the material from your class and work through the exercises in your book or online. Good luck!
