Good book for Classical Physics II?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on seeking recommendations for textbooks that align with a course syllabus covering electrostatics, current and conductivity, magnetic fields, induction, and Maxwell's equations. The individual expresses difficulty in understanding the professor's recommended materials and notes that "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism Vol 2" by Maxwell does not cover all the topics in their syllabus. They specifically inquire about alternative books, mentioning "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" as a potential option. The focus is on finding accessible resources that effectively explain complex concepts in electricity and magnetism.

Hey,
I am starting this course very shortly, and I always found that the books the professor recommended, I couldn't quite understand.
So these are my syllables:

Electrostatics: electric charge and field, Coulomb law, Gauss law; potential; energy; conductors; Poisson and Laplace equations and methods for solution; capacitors, dialectrics.
Current, conductivity, Drude model, Kirchhoff, RC circuits.
Magnetic field, Lorentz force, Ampere law, vector potential, Biot-Savart law, Lorentz transformation of electric and magnetic fields
Induction, Faraday law, Lentz law, energy in a magnetic field, magnetic materials.
Maxwell equations and the general solution, electromagnetic waves, relativistic formulation.
Introduction to radiation

I looked through "A treatise on electricity and magnetism Vol 2, Maxwell "
but, as far as I could see, it does not include some of the subjects I will learn.

Any help with this one?

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
