The vector field derived isA=xzyz2y22i+x22x2z+12yz2yzj+u

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

The given equation isV=x2yz+yi+(x2yz)j+z22zx+x+yk.

02

Definition of vector.

A quantity that has magnitude as well as direction is called a vector. It is typically denoted by an arrow in which the head determines the direction of the vector and the length determines its magnitude.

03

Find the vector field.

In this problem find vector A, whose curl gives the vector

.V=x2yz+yi+(x2yz)j+z22zx+x+yk

The components of vector are given in terms of the derivatives of A.

AzyAyz=x2yz+y

AxyAzz=x2yz

AyyAxz=z22zx+x+y

There are an infinite number of options, try to set Az=0.This gives the equation given below.

Ayz=x2yz+y

Axz=x2yz

AyxAxy=z22zx+x+y

Integrate the first equation.

Ay=x2z+12yz2yz+f(x,y)

Now, integrate the second equation to obtain the equation shown below.

Ax=xzyz2+g(x,y)

Plug those two solutions into the last equation.

2xz+fx+z2gy=z22zx+x+y

fxgy=x+y

Take the function f and g as mentioned below.

f=x22

g=y22

The total solution is derived as shown below.

A=xzyz2y22i+x22x2z+12yz2yzj+u

Here,u is an arbitrary function.

Hence, the vector field derived is

.A=xzyz2y22i+x22x2z+12yz2yzj+u

Do case (b) of Example 1above.

A cylindrical capacitor consists of two long concentric metal cylinders. If there is a charge of k coulombs per meter on the inside cylinder of radius, R1and coulombs per meter on the outside cylinder of radius,R1find -k the electric field E between the cylinders. Hint: Use Gauss’s law and the method indicated in Figure 10.7. What is E inside the inner cylinder? Outside the outer cylinder? (Again use Gauss’s law.) Find, either by inspection or by direct integration, the potential role="math" localid="1659237306724" φsuch thatE=-φfor each of the three regions above. In each case E is not affected by adding an arbitrary constant toφ. Adjust the additive constant to makeφa continuous function for all space

(a) Given Φ=x2-y2, sketch on one graph the curvesΦ=4,Φ=1,Φ=0,Φ=-1,Φ=-4. IfΦis the electrostatic potential, the curvesΦ=const. are equipotential, and the electric field is given byE=-Φ. IfΦis temperature, the curvesΦ= const. are isothermals andΦis the temperature gradient; heat flows in the direction-Φ.

(b) Find and draw on your sketch the vectors-Φat the points(x,y)=(+1,+1),(0,+2),(+2,0),. Then, remembering thatΦis perpendicular toΦ= const., sketch, without computation, several curves along which heat would flow [see (a)].
