what is the best book that you know that provides explanations of electromagnetism and its phenomena without too much hard maths please?
The best book to learn about electromagnetism would vary depending on the reader's level of understanding and specific interests. Some popular options include "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths, "Classical Electrodynamics" by John David Jackson, and "Electromagnetic Field Theory" by Bo Thidé. It is recommended to read reviews and consult with other experts in the field to determine the best fit.
Yes, there are several beginner-friendly books on electromagnetism. Some examples include "Basic Electromagnetic Theory" by Isaak D. Mayergoyz, "Electromagnetism for Engineers" by P. Hammond, and "Fundamentals of Electromagnetics" by N. N. Rao. These books provide a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts of electromagnetism and are suitable for those with little to no prior knowledge of the subject.
"Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths is often recommended for self-study as it is well-written, has clear explanations, and includes plenty of examples and practice problems. Other options include "The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. II: The New Millennium Edition" by Richard P. Feynman, and "A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations" by Daniel Fleisch.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of electromagnetism, some advanced books to consider include "Classical Electromagnetic Theory" by Kurt Oughstun, "Electromagnetic Theory" by Julius Adams Stratton, and "Electrodynamics of Continuous Media" by Leonid A. Dombrovsky. These books cover advanced topics such as relativity, field theory, and advanced mathematical techniques.
Yes, there are practical applications of electromagnetism discussed in many books, such as "Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials" by N. Engheta and R.W. Ziolkowski, "Electromagnetic Wave Theory" by Jin Au Kong, and "Electromagnetic Theory and Computation: A Topological Approach" by Paul W. Gross. These books delve into the practical applications of electromagnetism in fields such as telecommunications, optics, and materials science.
