Consider the potential function \(\varphi(x, y, z)=G(\rho),\) where \(G\) is any twice differentiable function and \(\rho=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}} ;\) therefore, \(G\) depends only on the distance from the origin. a. Show that the gradient vector field associated with \(\varphi\) is \(\mathbf{F}=\nabla \varphi=G^{\prime}(\rho) \frac{\mathbf{r}}{\rho},\) where \(\mathbf{r}=\langle x, y, z\rangle\) and \(\rho=|\mathbf{r}|\) b. Let \(S\) be the sphere of radius \(a\) centered at the origin and let \(D\) be the region enclosed by \(S\). Show that the flux of \(\mathbf{F}\) across \(S\) is $$\iint_{S} \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{n} d S=4 \pi a^{2} G^{\prime}(a) $$ c. Show that \(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}=\nabla \cdot \nabla \varphi=\frac{2 G^{\prime}(\rho)}{\rho}+G^{\prime \prime}(\rho)\) d. Use part (c) to show that the flux across \(S\) (as given in part (b)) is also obtained by the volume integral \(\iiint_{D} \nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} d V\). (Hint: use spherical coordinates and integrate by parts.)
a. Show that a torus with radii \(R>r\) (see figure) may be described parametrically by \(r(u, v)=\langle(R+r \cos u) \cos v,(R+r \cos u) \sin v, r \sin u\rangle\) for \(0 \leq u \leq 2 \pi, 0 \leq v \leq 2 \pi\) b. Show that the surface area of the torus is \(4 \pi^{2} R r\).
The heat flow vector field for conducting objects is \(\mathbf{F}=-k \nabla T,\) where \(T(x, y, z)\) is the temperature in the object and \(k>0\) is a constant that depends on the material. Compute the outward flux of \(\mathbf{F}\) across the following surfaces S for the given temperature distributions. Assume \(k=1\). \(T(x, y, z)=-\ln \left(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}\right) ; S\) is the sphere \(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=a^{2}\).
Find a vector field \(\mathbf{F}\) with the given curl. In each case, is the vector field you found unique? $$\operatorname{curl} \mathbf{F}=\langle 0, z,-y\rangle$$
The potential function for the force field due to a charge \(q\) at the origin is \(\varphi=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{|\mathbf{r}|},\) where \(\mathbf{r}=\langle x, y, z\rangle\) is the position vector of a point in the field and \(\varepsilon_{0}\) is the permittivity of free space. a. Compute the force field \(\mathbf{F}=-\nabla \varphi\). b. Show that the field is irrotational; that is \(\nabla \times \mathbf{F}=\mathbf{0}\).
