❤ 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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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
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
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.
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
This s goldddd information! Please make a video on the math concepts and good math books needed in order to have a good time studying electromagnetics!!. Thanks alot!!
@@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!
@@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
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).
man you're my hero i cant wait to finally be knowledgeable in things lol i want to be an engineer so badly 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ i guess we all gotta start somewhere somehow
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.
To be honest I have not ready any on this topic -- I mostly learned computational emag from playing around with software like HFSS and FEKO rather than books
I've seen two big names come up for this topic, Electricity & Magnetism by Purcell, and Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths, would be interested to know how you'd compare those to what you've listed in the video
Cool I’m doing next year ac circuits not calculus based yet ,but this will be helpful. My textbook is so dry about the magnetic field and electromagnetism it just lists units , history and bunch of equations haha
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?
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
Hi I'm current on my second year of electrical engineering, I've been having a problem of understanding signal and systems do you have any recommendation book on this topic. I'm currently using Alan V .Oppenheim, Alan.S Willsky, with with S.Hamid Naweb SIgnal and system second edition book right now. Thanks
Hi! I have a question. Do you have book/video recommendations for electronic physics(dk if that's the right word). for example small signal equivalent for transistors and matrix representation of them etc i am electrical engineering sem4. Oh and I love your vid on the interjection between hardware on software! Really made me want to do embedded systems!
Thanks! I just stumbled upon your channel and it is really helpful one. Request- can you plz suggest list of books for anyone who wants to self learn / study electronics engineering without going to expensive college?
I am thinking of pursuing a Material Science Degree but I’ve been watching other RUclips videos and they say it’s best to take Mechanical and take more material science electives so your not so niche. What are thoughts on this perspective Ali
@@alithedazzling I’m a visual person who enjoys colors and finishes like how a car looks after a paint job or the aesthetic of house and how it changes because a lot of components in the home use stainless steel. Overall materials breath life and color to the physical things in the world around us
@@federicoacheampong1305 oh well theres your answer, you seem very passionate about this idea! I would go for it, you'd enjoy the chemistry element more than mechanical stuff it seems. Is tehre a materials degree for undergrad in your university?
Jackson Electrodynamics and Landau Theorical Physics for Fundaments Optics by Matveev, but depends what will be your focus, photonics or just study the lens
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
few questions. are these the books i need to truly understand most about electricity? im looking to study electrical engineering, and want to improve on my physics in depth.
