What are some good books on electricity and Magnetism

In summary, it is suggested to perform a forum search for books on electricity and magnetism in the Science and Maths Textbooks section. Some recommended books are Sommerfeld Lectures Vol. 3+4, Jackson, Schwinger, and Griffiths. For undergrads, Griffiths is highly recommended. As for using it for entrance exam preparations, it would depend on the specific exam being taken.

I would suggest that you should perform a forum search in the Science and Maths Textbooks section. Books on electromagnetism have been discussed quite a lot of times. You should have a look at the threads that have already been posted.
