Study Notes

Divergence of a Vector Field

  • The divergence of the vector field P is not equal to 2XYZ + X, as the expression lacks a differential operator.

Divergence in Cartesian Coordinates

  • The divergence of the vector field P in Cartesian coordinates is given by ∇⋅P = (∂P_x/∂x) + (∂P_y/∂y) + (∂P_z/∂z).

Divergence in Cylindrical Coordinates

  • The divergence of the vector field P in cylindrical coordinates is given by ∇⋅P = (1/r) (∂(rP_r)/∂r) + (1/r) (∂P_θ/∂θ) + (∂P_z/∂z).

Stoke's Theorem

  • Stoke's theorem relates the circulation of a vector field around a closed curve to the surface integral of the curl of that vector field.

Applicability of Stoke's Theorem

  • Stoke's theorem is applicable only if the vector field A and its first partial derivatives are continuous on the surface S and its boundary.

Relationship between Circulation and Surface Integral

  • The circulation of a vector field A around a closed curve is equal to the surface integral of the curl of A, i.e., ∯Aâ‹…dl = ∬ (∇×A) â‹…dS.
