Given, integrate over the whole surface of the cube of side 1 with four of its vertices at Evaluate the same integral by means of the divergence theorem.
Given the vector.
(a) Find .
(b) Evaluate over a rectangle in the plane bounded by the lines .
(c) Evaluate around the boundary of the rectangle and thus verify Stokes' theorem for this case.
Use either Stokes' theorem or the divergence theorem to evaluate each of the following integrals in the easiest possible way.
Verify that the force field is conservative. Then find a scalar potential 蠁 such that ,
K = constant.
Expand the triple product for given in the discussion of Figure 3.8. If is perpendicular to (Problem 16), show that , and so find the elementary result that the acceleration is toward the center of the circle and of magnitude .
(a) Given , sketch on one graph the curves. Ifis the electrostatic potential, the curvesconst. are equipotential, and the electric field is given by. Ifis temperature, the curves= const. are isothermals andis the temperature gradient; heat flows in the direction.
(b) Find and draw on your sketch the vectorsat the points,,. Then, remembering thatis perpendicular to= const., sketch, without computation, several curves along which heat would flow [see (a)].
