BSc/BS notes on Electricity and Magnetism is given below.You can also watch MIT's(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) video lectures in the Video Lectures section.These notes and Video Lectures will help you understand Electricity and Magnetism very easily.
Coulomb's law or Coulomb's inverse-square law is a law of physics describing the electrostatic interaction between electrically charged particles.
An electric field is the region of space surrounding electrically charged particles and time-varying magnetic fields.
In physics, Gauss's law, also known as Gauss's flux theorem, is a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.
The electric potential at a point is equal to the electric potential energy of a charged particle at that location divided by the charge of the particle.
Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electrical charge and a dielectric is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field.
Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a medium and electrical resistance of an electrical element is the opposition to the passage of an electric current through that element
A DC circuit (Direct Current circuit) is an electrical circuit that consists of any combination of constant voltage sources, constant current sources, and resistors.
A magnetic field may be represented by a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength); as such it is a vector field.
In classical electromagnetism, Ampère's circuital law, discovered by André-Marie Ampère in 1826,relates the integrated magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current passing through the loop.
Faraday's law of induction dates from the 1830s, and is a basic law of electromagnetism relating to the operating principles of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors and generators.
In electromagnetism and electronics, inductance is that property of a circuit by which a change in current in the circuit “induces” a voltage (electromotive force) in both the circuit itself (self-inductance) and any nearby circuits (mutual inductance).
