When it stops making sense, we think Jakob Schwichtenberg's No-Nonsense Electrodynamics is the best book to put next to it, with Purcell and Morin as the second option. The ranking is built from the Cambridge University Press and No-Nonsense Books pages.\n\nNo-Nonsense Electrodynamics: fields, field tensor and potential tied together; Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law derived; gauge theory and relativity chapters; $34 for either format\nGriffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics: 5th edition, Cambridge University Press, 2023, 650 pages, junior and senior undergraduates\nPurcell and Morin, Electricity and Magnetism: 3rd edition, Cambridge, 2013, SI units, $88.00 hardback, magnetism from relativity\nKeep Griffiths if: its derivations already make sense and your course grades its problems\nThe written comparison with the full table: Griffiths Electrodynamics vs No-Nonsense Electrodynamics\nBuy the eBook or paperback: No-Nonsense Electrodynamics book page\nFentner Group, fentner.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Gj7ST0zfqPS1d2jafDb9h7RLE_BKnzHJpjD6_RuOfY4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNDZi/NmFmZmI2OGFiZmNm/NzY1OWY1OTkyZjFl/OGNlMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
