Best books to learn Electromagnetism, in order
Electromagnetism is where physics gets mathematically serious, and rushing it leaves Maxwell's equations as symbols you can't feel. Build from electrostatics and the field concept, into magnetic fields and induction, then the full unification in Maxwell's equations and radiation—each step demanding vector calculus and rewarding the patience to see the picture assemble.
