How do you self study electromagnetism?
Electrostatics and Magnetostatics should be mastered at first. You would also require quite a bit of calculus and vector calculus to master EMT.
Which is better Purcell or Griffith?
If you only talk about quality of concept than purcell is a bit more and due to that sometimes you see the reference of purcell in Griffith Like at page 116 of Griffith there is a reference bof purcell but otherwise for beginners Griffith is the best.
What math do you need for electricity and magnetism?
This series requires the use of multivariable calculus, although most of the math that is used will be reviewed. It is also best if you have previously completed our 8.01x Introductory Mechanics series.
What math is used in electrodynamics?
We expect from our readers that they know elementary electrodynamics in the conventional (1 + 3)-dimensional form including Maxwell’s equations. More over, they should be familiar with linear algebra and elementary analysis, in cluding vector analysis. Some knowledge of differential geometry would help.
How do you make a magnetic field with iron filings?

How can I motivate my students to think about electromagnets?
Here is a great animation of a bell that you can use to stimulate some thinking. The electromagnet challenge! Key Stage 3 worksheet on electromagnets . This activity has been designed to motivate students to investigate electromagnetism.
Can you try an electromagnet at home?
Try it yourself and let the force be with you! Electromagnets are different than the permanent magnets used in the other Try This at Home activities. They’re not magnetized metal: they’re basically a wire conducting electric current, which in turn generates a magnetic field. Magnetism and electricity are very closely related phenomena.
What materials do I need to set up an electromagnetic field station?
For each electromagnetic field station: cardboard toilet paper tube insulated copper wire (at least AWG 22 or higher), several feet (1 m) cardboard (~ 5 x 5 inches or 13 x 13 cm) clothespins or clamps (optional) masking tape rubber band 2-3 D-cell batteries 9-V (volt) battery several metal paperclips, tacks and/or pins
How to test the strength of an electromagnet?
1 Test the strength of the electromagnet by seeing how many paperclips it can pick up. 2 Record the number of paperclips on the worksheet. 3 Disconnect the wire from the battery after testing the electromagnet. 4 Test how varying the design of the electromagnet affects its strength.
