(a) Check the divergence theorem for the function , using as your volume the sphere of radius R, centred at the origin.
(b) Do the same for . (If the answer surprises you, look back at Prob. 1.16)
(a) LetandCalculate the divergence and curl ofandwhich one can be written as the gradient of a scalar? Find a scalar potential that does the job. Which one can be written as the curl of a vector? Find a suitable vector potential.
(b) Show thatlocalid="1654510098914" can be written both as the gradient of a scalar and as the curl of a vector. Find scalar and vector potentials for this function.
Although the gradient, divergence, and curl theorems are the fundamental integral theorems of vector calculus, it is possible to derive a number of corollaries from them. Show that:
(a). [Hint:Let v = cT, where c is a constant, in the divergence theorem; use the product rules.]
(b). [Hint:Replace v by (v x c) in the divergence
theorem.]
(c) . [Hint:Let in the
divergence theorem.]
(d). [Comment:This is sometimes
called Green's second identity; it follows from (c), which is known as
Green's identity.]
(e) [Hint:Let v = cT in Stokes' theorem.]
