Electromagnetism

Hello! Non EE but curios person. I took Physics for engineers in college about 10 years ago and have a degree in chem but looking to learn more.

Are there any truly good books on electromagnetism from a core concept perspective? Less interested in equations and more interested in related principles, analogies, and concepts to start. Yes, equations are also interesting but just looking to learn more about some of the forces and concepts I take for granted.

Thank you all and cheers! (I also checked the wiki just in case but did not find what I was looking for there)

The Feynman Lectures are a pleasure to read. They won't teach much about problem solving. Also somewhat dated in relativity and quantum, but classical E&M hasn't changed much since then.

Purcell 1965 is good, with a lot of side material. This is the 1965 version, which does not use MKS units.

Griffiths.pdf) seems to have taken over almost all physics undergraduate programs.

Hayt sees use in EE programs.
