Express the unit vectors r,,in terms of x, y, z (that is, deriveEq. 1.64). Check your answers several ways ( rr=?1, =0?, r=?).Also work out the inverse formulas, giving x, y, z in terms of r,, (and ,).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The formula ofr is obtained to be equal tor=sincosx+sinsiny+cosz . The formula for is obtained as =coscosx+cossiny-sinzand the value of is obtained as.

=-sinx+cosy

The product of r.r, is obtained as,1 and the product . is obtained as 0

The inverse formulae are obtained asx=sincosr+coscos-sin , y=sinsinr+cossin+cos, z=cosr-sin

Step by step solution

01

Define the spherical coordinates.

The spherical coordinates are defined in terms of r,,, where r is the distance from origin, is the pole angle and is the azimuthal angle.

The spherical coordinates can be drawn as,

The scalar potentials is v=rr2 and the position vector is r=xi+yj+zk. The unit vector in the direction of r, is obtained as,

r=rr=xi+yj+zkx2+y2+z2

The spherical coordinates of the system is defined as,

x=rsincos

y=rsinsin

z=rcos

Substitute rsincosfor x , rsinsinfor y and rcos for z into

r=xi+yj+zk

r=xi+yj+zk=rsincosi+rsinsinj+rcosk

The unit vector ris obtained asr=sincosx+sinsiny+cosz

02

Step: 2 Obtain the formula for  θ  .

The infinitesimal displacement along the direction, is obtained as dl=rd 鈥︹. (3)

The infinitesimal displacement along the direction , in terms of Cartesian coordinates is written as,

dl=dxx+dyy+dzx

As x=rsincos , y=rsinsin, z=rcos, infinitesimal displacement along the direction , can be written as,

dl=rsincosx+rsinsiny+rcosz

From equation (3), dl=rd

rd=rsincosx+rsinsiny+rcosz

03

Step: 3Obtain the formula for    ϕ

The infinitesimal displacement along the direction , is obtained as

dl=rsind 鈥︹. (3)

The infinitesimal displacement along the direction , in terms of Cartesian coordinates is written as,

dl=dxx+dyy+dzz

As x=rsincos, y=rsinsin, z=rcos, infinitesimal displacement along the direction , can be written as,

dl=rsincosx+rsinsiny+rcosz

From equation (3), dl=rsind

rsind=-rsincosx+rsinsiny=-sinx+cosy

04

Step: 4 Check the products

The product of r.r, is calculated as,

r.r=sin2cos2+sin2+cos2=sin2+cos2=1

Multiply the vectors and

.=-cossincos+cossincos=0

05

Step: 5 Find the value of  x∧,y∧,z∧

Asx=rsincos, y=rsinsin, z=rcos, the position vector

r=rsincosx+sinsiny+cosz

Multiply above equation by sinon both sides,

sinr=sin2cosx+sin2siny+sincosz 鈥︹. (1)

Now the theta vector is =coscosx+cossiny-sinz

Multiply above equation by coson both sides,

cos=cos2cosx+cos2siny-sincosz 鈥︹. (2)

Add equations (1) and (2) as,

sinr+cos=sin2cosx+sin2siny+sincosz+cos2cosx+cos2siny-sincosz=sin2cosx+sin2siny+cos2cosx+cos2siny=sin2+cos2xcosx+sin2+cos2siny=cosx+siny

solve further as,

=-sinx+cosy

Multiply sinr+cos=cosx+siny by coson both sides,

sincosr+coscos=cos2x+sincosy 鈥︹. (3)

Multiply =-sinx+cosyby sinon both sides,

sin=-sin2x+cossiny 鈥︹. (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3).

sincosr+coscos-sin=cos2x+sincosy-sincosy+sin2x=cos2x+sin2x=x

Thus, x=sincosr+coscos-sin

Multiply sinr+cos=cosx+sinyby sin on both sides,

sinsinr+cossin=cossinx+sin2y 鈥︹. (5)

Multiply =-sinx+cosy by cos on both sides,

cos=-sincosx+cos2y 鈥︹. (5)

Add equation (5) and (6).

sinsinr+cossin+cos=cossinx+sin2y-sincosx+cos2y=sin2y+cos2y=y

Thus, y=sinsinr+cossin+cos

.

As x=rsincos, y=rsinsin, z=rcos, the position vector is

r=rsincosx+sinsiny+cosz

Multiply above equation by coson both sides,

cosr=sincoscosx+sincossiny+cos2z 鈥︹. (6)

Now the theta vector is ==coscosx+cossiny-sinz

Multiply above equation by sinon both sides,

sin=sincoscosx+sincossiny-sin2z 鈥︹. (7)

Subtract equation (7) from equation (8) as,

cosr-sin=sincoscosx+sincossiny+cos2z-sincoscosx-sincossiny+sin2z=cos2z+sin2z=z

Thus, z=cosr-sin
