Electricity and magnetism book (preferably with lots of examples)

[Null_]

I'm taking E&M next semester, and the book we use is quite good at explaining concepts, but it only has 9-12 questions per chapter. I would like to do more practice problems. We used the same book for modern mechanics (it is a two-edition set, the first is mech and the second is E&M).

Any suggestions? I got the second edition of the book I need for free from a friend, so I'm willing to spend the $120 I would have spend on this book on a book, provided it is good. I am taking Calc II next semester but will be studying Calc III material as well.

Also check ebay.

But hopefully you can find it at a local library.

there are many torrents with physics textbooks of every kind free of charge, great if your looking for just a few more examples

Thanks, Daverz. I will check it out from my school's library. My school's library has lots of books, so I can just check out books see if I like them enough to buy it.

Null, might that be Chabay and Sherwood?

A very comprehensive text that also has loads of problems Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics. It is a graduate level text though...

What book are you using?

This is not a good recommendation AT ALL for someone at this level. There are only two types of problems in Jackson: 1) extremely difficult ones, 2) ones that waste your life which are extremely difficult.

Oops, didn't read the question though. If graduate though, I recommend Jackson.

In my second year undergrad we used Griffiths. Thats a nice book.

Although in hindsight, probably won't help now
