Spring 2016 PHY102: Introduction To Physics-II 9/1/16 Tutorial - 02 Department of Physics Shiv Nadar University

This document contains a physics tutorial with 5 questions. Question 1 involves calculating directional derivatives of a multivariate function f(x,y)=x^2y at the point (3,2). Question 2 involves calculating additional directional derivatives of f at (3,2). Question 3 asks to find the points of minimum and maximum temperature based on a given temperature profile function. Question 4 involves calculating the divergence and curl of two vector fields - an electric field and a magnetic field. Question 5 asks to draw representative vectors to visualize two vector functions.

Shiv Nadar University

1. Let (, ) = 2
(a) Find (3,2)
(b) Find the derivative of in the direction of (1,2) at the point (3,2) or 3 + 2
2. For the of first question, at the point (3,2)
(a) what is the directional derivative in the direction (-3,4), i.e -3 + 4
(b) What is the directional derivative in the direction (-4,-3)? Note that this direction is opposite
to (3,2)
3. The temperature profile in a room is given by:

(, ) = 3 + 2 2 4
where f represents temperature in the room and x, y are measure with respect to the origin. It
is given that there is no saddle-point like behavior of the function. Find out the points at which
minimum or maximum temperature occurs and calculate these temperatures.
4. Compute the divergence and curl of the following vector fields:
(a) (, , ) =

3
( 2 + 2 + 2 ) 2

3
( 2 + 2 + 2 ) 2

3
( 2 + 2 + 2 ) 2

[Coulomb electric field of a point charge]

(b) (, , ) =

( 2 + 2 )

+ (2

+ 2 )

[Magnetic field outside an infinite current carrying wire]

5. Draw some representative vectors to visualize the following two-dimensional vector


functions/fields.
(a) (, ) = ( 1) + ( + 2)

(b) (, ) = +
