Hi guys,
My school does not offer AP Physics C, Electricity and Magnetism. I was wondering which textbooks and resources I should use to self-study it. Thanks for your input.
I would highly advise you not to self study E&M. That was the toughest of all the AP courses my D took and she had a fabulous teacher. Just wait and take it in college.
Have you taken AP Physics 2, if your school offers it?
No, I’m in middle school. I just need E&M in the next couple of years, that’s all. I was also wondering where I could find a good calculus AB textbook, because I heard I needed that for E&M.
You probably want to learn math through multivariable calculus to better understand E&M. Here are some books:
Calculus and multivariable calculus:
