For EM (freshman level physics) and advanced EM (Junior/Senior level) to help students appreciate the material, I am looking for books/websites that contain:

1-applications of electricity and magnetism in real life. That is almost nonexistent in Griffiths, e.g. no bubble jet printers or magnetic tape in magnetism.

2-home experiments

For the optics aspects of the courses, I suggest the book Light Science: Physics and the Visual Arts. It's very real-world-oriented, with tons and tons of home experiments. Again, this is just optics, not the rest of electromagnetism.
