Vectors
For the following exercises, determine whether the statement is true or false .
Vector field is a gradient field for both and
Vector field is constant in direction and magnitude on a unit circle.
False
Vector field is neither a radial field nor a rotation.
For the following exercises, describe each vector field by drawing some of its vectors.
For the following exercises, find the gradient vector field of each function
What is vector field with a value at that is of unit length and points toward
For the following exercises, write formulas for the vector fields with the given properties.
All vectors are parallel to the x -axis and all vectors on a vertical line have the same magnitude.
All vectors point toward the origin and have constant length.
All vectors are of unit length and are perpendicular to the position vector at that point.
Give a formula for the vector field in a plane that has the properties that at and that at any other point F is tangent to circle and points in the clockwise direction with magnitude
Is vector field a gradient field?
Find a formula for vector field given the fact that for all points F points toward the origin and
For the following exercises, assume that an electric field in the xy -plane caused by an infinite line of charge along the x -axis is a gradient field with potential function where is a constant and is a reference distance at which the potential is assumed to be zero.
Find the components of the electric field in the x - and y -directions, where
Show that the electric field at a point in the xy -plane is directed outward from the origin and has magnitude where
A flow line (or streamline ) of a vector field is a curve such that If represents the velocity field of a moving particle, then the flow lines are paths taken by the particle. Therefore, flow lines are tangent to the vector field. For the following exercises, show that the given curve is a flow line of the given velocity vector field
