AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a suitable problems and solutions textbook for electricity and magnetism. Participants suggest Griffiths' "Introduction to Electrodynamics" for its problem sets, despite its lack of circuit coverage. Schaum's "3000 Problems in Physics" is recommended for its extensive problems and solutions. Additionally, "University Physics" by Young and Freedman is mentioned as a valuable resource. The emphasis is on the importance of detailed solutions for effective learning in physics.

Homework Statement


Hi, I am looking for a problems and solutions textbook for the physics of electricity and magnetism. I currently am using a textbook that has problems but no solutions at all. It is miserable for learning physics.

I am looking for something that can provide good college level problems in electricity and magnetism but also have good in-detail solutions. Any form is acceptable (internet, textbook,etc.) but having detailed solutions is key!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Griffiths' Introduction to Electrodynamics is an okay intro book, it's got plenty of problems in it
I'd give that one a go
 
How come that book doesn't cover circuits?
 
most EM books don't cover circuits
they usually cover coulomb fields and work up to maxwells equations

Hi mrshappy0! Have a try for Schaum's 3000 Problems in Physics.
You can buy students manuals of your textbooks if need solutions- but saying the truth it won't help you to learn physics at all!
Have a nice day!

I got that book too. But only problems and solution.
Should add Young and Freedman-University Physics.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
