Tutorial 3

1. This document provides tutorial problems related to electromagnetic theory involving vector calculus concepts. Problems involve calculating electric field vectors and magnitudes given charge distributions. 2. Specifically, it asks students to transform a vector function from cylindrical to spherical coordinates, find the direction and magnitude of sums and differences of vectors, and plot and calculate electric fields from point and sheet charge distributions. 3. Additional optional problems involve finding the angle between vectors, forces on point charges, and the maximum electric field from symmetrically arranged point charges.
