P.C.W. Davies, The Forces of Nature, 2nd ed. (1986), is an interesting, readable account. Edward M. Purcell, Electricity and Magnetism, 2nd ed. (1985), is superbly illustrated and treats key principles and phenomena with remarkable insight. Many examples and problems on electricity, as well as elementary discussions of vectors and other aspects of physics, are found in David Halliday, Robert Resnick, and Jearl Walker, Fundamentals of Physics, 7th ed., extended (2005). Useful physics textbooks with illustrations, examples, and problems include Richard Wolfson and Jay M. Pasachoff, Physics, 3rd ed., 2 vol. (1999); and Hugh D. Young, University Physics, 8th ed. (1992).
