Each link below leads two different variations of equation sheets used in the electromagnetism unit OpenStax University Physics (Volume 2 Unit 2).

These equations^[1] can be given to students as they take chapter quizzes based on examples in the textbook OpenStax University Physics
A study guide for these quizzes can be found at Quizbank/Electricity and Magnetism (calculus based)
Most solutions for the questions can be found by reading the examples in Unit 2 of the textbook.
