Which physics book to study?

Can anyone recommend a good physics book which explains the concepts very well and has a good set of questions?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Read HC Verma, Resnick Halliday and then you can prefer "General Physics" by I.E. Irodov for expertise in solving problems. You can also study books by DC Pandey or Tipler.

Go for Resnick & Halliday - the content is clear and the illustrations are divine. HCV is good for making your base strong. Once you get confident try problems from Irodov, don't get discouraged if you don't get a few problems from Irodov, because they are really difficult!

A great book to start with is An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow if you have a strong background of mathematics.

go for bm sharmas books for clear concepts and problems and for advanced problems go in for cengage advanced problems in school physics

Well there are 2 books of Resnick Halliday- Crane and Walker. Which one is better?

Go for HC Verma, Resnick Halliday(Fundamentals of Physics), and University Physics...... these are the best books.....

Good question, I would also like to find such a book. But I have one problem - reading and writing is difficult for me. I am trying to solve this problem using written services. I read https://essayservicescanner.com/paperell-review/ and understand where I better order essays and other types of assignments. For example, paperell review. Recently, I began to notice that my writing skills had improved significantly.
