Electricity and Magnetism
Edward M. Purcell
Learn the basics of electricity and magnetism with this classic textbook that has been updated to SI units in its third edition. With discussions of real-life applications and hundreds of new examples and problems, this nontraditional approach introduces magnetism as a relativistic effect and derives macroscopic phenomena rigorously from the underlying microscopic physics. Perfect for courses in electricity and magnetism, the textbook features nearly 600 end-of-chapter problems and exercises with solutions available for instructors online.

This book by Purcell was the best textbook I read as an undergraduate. It was so intellectually exciting, and had such fantastic pedagogy! I’m using relevant parts of it for my students this semester in multivariable calculus. – source
