Textbook for junior level electricity and magnetism

In summary, a junior level electricity and magnetism textbook covers topics such as electrostatics, electric fields, electric potential, electric circuits, magnetism, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, and AC/DC circuits. A strong foundation in algebra and trigonometry is necessary to understand the concepts, with some knowledge of calculus being helpful. Real-world applications of these concepts include power generation and distribution, electronics, electromagnets, motors and generators, and electromagnetic waves. The textbook may include a variety of exercises and problems, including conceptual questions, numerical calculations, and applications to real-world scenarios. To prepare for exams or further study, it is important to thoroughly read and understand the material, complete practice problems, and actively engage with the material.

Since the instructor of my course doesn't use a textbook and just teaches based off his notes, what would be a good text to supplement my learning (when asked what he recomends, he just said find something in the library). Does electrodynamics = electricty and magnetism? I've heard this one is good:

Yes. Griffiths is the standard of junior level E&M and it happens to also be very good.

If you can find it: Nayfeh & Brussel, Electricity and Magnetism.
