For the fundamental concepts of electromagnetism, see ‘Maxwell’s Equations’. Personally, I prefer looking at the differential equation versions to understand the interplay between electro- and -magnetism and how that relates to light/electricity/so many things
Thanks for all the clarifications! It’s mindboggling and fascinating how we found out about all this, came up with concepts and pointers - language - to express and describe it all.

If you ever have the chance to take a college physics class, they often teach some of the history of how this stuff was discovered along with the math. I always found that part fascinating!
Also there are some pretty good resources on YouTube and some books intended for more casual audiences. Michio Kaku was one of my favorite authors for pop-sci physics when I was a kid.
