Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFDivergence:
- Divergence is a vector operator that operates on a vector field, producing a scalar field giving the quantity of the vector field's source at each point.
- The divergence operation can be represented by a del operator (∇).
- The divergence applied on a scalar produces zero, thus it has no meaning.
- The expressions for divergence in different coordinate systems are different.
Case 1: Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z)
Case 2: Cylindrical coordinate system (ρ, ϕ, z)
Case 3: Spherical coordinate system (r, θ, ϕ)
