6 Books to Self-Teach Electromagnetic Physics

[@royalsharma6797]

❤ from INDIA🇮🇳 I am basically in high school which is also called as +2 or class 12 in India and I'm preparing for JEE ADVANCED ENTRANCE EXAM FOR IIT and I'm studying electromagnetism and electrodynamics from the indian book i.e. cangage physics but it doesn't gives you the feel about how things actually works it basically is oriented according to the exam pattern and focus on application part more rather than the concepts and then I found out another book of Russian author which is Electromagnetism by I.E. Irodov but again I didn't find it relevant and that much deeply written book and so i searched and found your video and thanks I'll try those 2 books that you've told in the beginning of the video I hope they will satisfy my need to understand the concepts and to dive deeper into the concepts and connecting it to the real world and visualization

[@AyushSingh-si1vj]

Same here bro, btw, how's your preparation going? And did you read those two books? Share you exprience please

[@surajmandal_567]

Also, along with these books study mathematics like linear algebra, differential equations and vector analysis (assumming basic calculus and complex numbers). I have seen students struggling because of lack of mathematical background.

[@jamiegaudet6008]

Any books you'd recommend for these subjects? I lack a mathematical background lol

[@Peter_1986]

I am a big fan of the book "Elements Of Electromagnetics" by Alexander Sadiku. That book starts out with 3 chapters that are basically one big detailed summary of Multivariable Calculus (vectors, gradients, 3D graphs, Stoke's Theorem, Gauss's Theorem, and so on), and then it takes small steps one chapter at a time.

[@getusel]

It is one of the best introductory book.

[@Alb0z32]

i am a Mechatronics student. While we do have subjects like circuit analysis, i saw that the course was pretty vauge on electromagnetics, and this video is just what i needed to get started on learning it on my own. Thanks :D

[@venkybunnyvip]

This video mainly talks only about few Electromagnetics (EMFT) Books and a single Electronics Book but Electrical Engineering is not just that. It Covers:- Electrical Power Systems [Generation, Transmission, Distribution, Protection, Analysis, Operation & Control], Electrical Machines, Electrical & Electronics (AC&DC) Circuits, Electrical and Electronics Instrumentation, Signals & Systems, Anolog & Digital Electronics, Analog & Digital Communications, Power Electronics & Drives, Electrical Utilisation, Electrical Installation & Estimation, Sustainability, Energy Management, Electrical Vehicles and there are many other

[@louieavila3987]

this will be helpful since im majoring in Electrical engineering and since im starting Calc next semester, hope to see a book on it

[@zDoubleE23]

There’s really only three books you need for EM. Get Physics by Alonso-Finn as your introductory book. Then get Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths because the humor and commentary is so great. Then compliment it with Elements of Electromagnetics by Sadiku which is the most organized, methodical book I’ve ever read with several worked out examples.

[@crazyahhkmed]

The last book you mentioned about Farady and Maxwell is a real good one. I got it on audible.

[@alithedazzling]

how far into it have you gotten? what are your favorite parts so far?

[@crazyahhkmed]

I finished it. I impressed with how much Faraday was able to accomplish compared to his contemporaries despite his humble beginnings and being largely self taught. He laid the foundation for Maxwell. Then Maxwell( someone from the complete opposite side of the socioeconomic spectrum) comes along and expands upon Faraday's work, giving him much credit when others didn't, and goes onto unlock one of the biggest secrets of the universe. The whole dynamic is interesting. And despite how much they accomplished they were fairly humble men.

[@douglasstrother6584]

"Modern Electrodynamics" by Andrew Zangwill It's on the level of Jackson without the sharp edges. The selection of examples and problems are very physics-oriented.

[@rwharrington87]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@wisdomwisdom2546]

Dear Ali, a big thank you for your video, getting a grasp of electromagnetics is also vital to understand novel devices such as metasurfaces and its applications which will soon change the way materials are used in mobile applications. I think there's a book you didn't mention... Antenna theory by Constance Balanis, he's an authority in electromagnetics

[@alithedazzling]

thanks for the comment, I agree with your vision! Regarding the book you mention, I think it's quite good for design guidelines, but not the best to develop an intuitive understanding of antennas -- I'd only recommend it to those who are intermediate-advanced in emag looking into designing some serious antennas

[@wisdomwisdom2546]

@@alithedazzling Great man thanks for your reply. From your experience which Text book do you recommend for intituitive understanding of antennas

"The Forgotten Genius of Oliver Heaviside: A Maverick of Electrical Science" ~ Basil Mahon

[@danielfromca]

I like Ulaby in particular. But really, if you're starting out, the best choice in my view is probably a book like University Physics by Randall. It teaches the basics in an orderly way, making one ready for more advanced books like Ulaby. The more background in Calculus the better too.

[@haziqiqbalhussain]

Thanks Ali. I really struggled with electromagnetics in undergrad because I had very weak foundation of these concepts. Thanks for these recommendations. I am definitely going to follow this guide to self teach myself. Can you make a similar video for topics like Signals and Systems, Digital Signal processing and control systems. Recommended books or lecture series in order to self learn (from beginner to advanced). Thanks

[@MohammadBenSalamah]

Very well done, Ali. I'm looking for books and courses to refresh my knowledge of electromagnetism, and your video was beneficial.

[@saeedsobhani1981]

You are super hero man, not many people could have finish this study filed and master it.❤

Wow, thanks

[@GabeDT567]

I am glad that my Emag professor turned out to be an exceptional lecturer and he uses the Ulby book.

[@khangau4844]

@@alithedazzling I am 3rd-year undergrad in EE . It s so frustrating to learn things then forget them after 1-2 weeks... I often find myself understanding technical concepts, such as communication theories, circuits w bjts and Moses, etc, very well, but then I ll forget them very fast... It s just very sad to relearn things over and over again.. I think this s a very common problem especially in Engineering, which has lots of technical skills. Could you also make a video on this topic? Thank you!

[@alithedazzling]

@@khangau4844 I agree, that can be very frustrating. I think the only way to truly remember the concept is to use it solve a problem, for example some of the example problem and try to get an actual understanding of it. Otherwise memorizing cocnepts will make them easy to forget

[@danielfromca]

I like Thomas' Calculus 13th edition. There are solutions on Chegg and elsewhere. It's a lot of work, but worth it a little at a time (it's only for the soul though - there's no money in it really).

I'm trying to figure out what are the prerequisites for understanding the apparatuses that detect the cosmic microwave background and primordial gravitational waves. After reading the arXiv paper: "Planck pre-launch status: Design and description of the Low-Frequency Instrument" by M. Bersanelli et. all and seeing Low Frequency Instruments, High Electron Mobility Transistors, Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits and doped-barrier Schottky diodes being used to detect CMB photons I thought that I was in over my head and that I need to start with the fundamentals. Thanks for the channel and I subscribed by the way.

Hey Ali, Great channel, really appreciate your content not many people encourage Electrical Engineering. Ok I will get to the point, after finishing my training period at work in about 3 weeks. I am interested in self studying Electromagnetics, Signal Processing, Probability Theory, Microcontrollers. My approach to learning is slow by reading the text books and note taking + video lectures to supplement my learning. And applying them in octave, labview, LTspice, Proteus, and hands on experience My interests are Signal Processing & RF and Microwave Systems. I already planned out a schedule. What self study tips do you have?

[@alithedazzling]

I will make a separate video about this, I think too much to cover in a comment -- main advice is turn phone notifications off and ideally put it in another room while studying

Why are waveguides so important?

[@alithedazzling]

Because at higher frequencies cables become very lossy, and waveguides become the only way to efficiently transfer electromagnetic energy. So you need to understand how to design waveguides to make sure signal travels with as little loss as possible, for example when feeding an antenna
