Topic: Vector analysis

Dr. Johevajile K. Mazima
Introduction
• Electromagnetic theory
• charges at rest and in motion.
• for the understanding, analysis and design of
various electrical, electromechanical and
electronic systems.
• deals directly with the electric and magnetic field
vectors where as circuit theory deals with the
voltages and currents.
Introduction…
• Voltages and currents are integrated effects of
electric and magnetic fields respectively.
• Electromagnetic field problems involve
• three space variables along with the time
variable and hence the solution tends to become
correspondingly complex.
Introduction…
• Vector analysis is the required mathematical tool
with which electromagnetic concepts can be
conveniently expressed and best comprehended.
• Since use of vector analysis in the study of
electromagnetic field theory is prerequisite, first we
will go through vector algebra.
Scalar Quantity
• The quantity with only magnitude and no direction
• Is one dimensional quantity
• Can be divided with another scalar quantity
• Number (magnitude) and unit is only required to
represent scalar quantity
• Obeys algebraic addition operations
• Quantity whose value may be represented by a
single (positive or negative) real number
• E.g. Time, Temperature, Mass, Height, Speed,
Electric potential, Energy
Vector Quantity
• Quantity with both magnitude and direction in space
• Is more than one dimensional quantity
• Can not be divided with another vector quantity
• Number (magnitude), direction (Unit Vector) and
unit is required to represent vector quantity
• E.g. Velocity, Force
• Usually represented by a direction ray

The Cartesian coordinate system
• The cartesian coordinate system is a mathematical
system that tells about how to represent a point
uniquely in the n-dimensional coordinate plane
• Cartesian coordinates allow one to specify the
location of a point in the plane, or in three-
dimensional space.
• The Cartesian coordinates (also called rectangular
coordinates) of a point are a pair of numbers (in
two-dimensions) or a triplet of numbers (in three-
dimensions) that specified signed distances from the
coordinate axis.
The Cartesian coordinate system…
• The coordinate system is used to locate the position
of a point in a plane using two perpendicular lines.
• Points are represented in the form of coordinates (x,
y) in two-dimension with respect to x- and y- axes
• Any given point’s position can be described based
on its distance from the origin along each axis.
• A Cartesian coordinate system in a plane has two
perpendicular lines (the x-axis and y-axis); in three-
dimensional space, it has three (the x-axis, y-axis,
and z-axis).
The Cartesian coordinate system…
• Quadrants
• the axes divide the plane into four parts and these
four parts are called quadrants (one-fourth part).
• Thus, we have four quadrants numbered I, II, III
and IV anticlockwise from OX
The Cartesian coordinate system…
• Cartesian Plane
• A plane consists of axes and quadrants.
• Thus, we call the plane the Cartesian Plane, or the
Coordinate Plane, or the x-y plane.
• The axes are called the coordinate axes
Cartesian coordinates of the plane…
• The y coordinate specifies the distance above (if y is
positive) or below(if y is negative) the x axis
Cartesian coordinates of three-dimensional
space…

Vector Field
Vector Field…
• Vector fields can be used to represent many physical
quantities:
• the vector at a point may represent the strength of some
force
• gravity,
• electricity,
• magnetism or
• a velocity (wind speed or the velocity of some other
fluid)
• Means Vector fields explain forces such as wind and water
currents in the ocean, which are directly related to navigation
• They also explain electric fields, force fields, and gravity on
Earth

Vector Field…
• The curl is a vector operator that describes
the infinitesimal circulation of a vector field in
three-dimensional Euclidean space
• The curl at a point in the field is represented by
a vector whose length and direction denote
the magnitude and axis of the maximum circulation
• The curl of a field is formally defined as the
circulation density at each point of the field
Vector Field…

• The curl of a vector field is again a vector field. The
curl of a vector field is obtained by taking the vector
product of the vector operator applied to the vector
field F(x, y, z).
• i.e., Curl F(x, y, z) = ∇ × F(x, y, z) where
• F(x,y,z) = a
Vector Field…
• The divergence of a vector field is the extent to which the
vector field flux behaves like a source at a given point
• Is a local measure of its "outgoingness" the extent to which
there are more of the field vectors exiting from an
infinitesimal region of space than entering it
• A point at which the flux is outgoing has positive divergence,
and is often called a "source" of the field
• A point at which the flux is directed inward has negative
divergence, and is often called a "sink" of the field
• The greater the flux of field through a small surface enclosing
a given point, the greater the value of divergence at that point
• A point at which there is zero flux through an enclosing
surface has zero divergence
Vector Field…
Vector Field…
• A positive divergence means that the vector field is
growing in strength
• A negative divergence means that the vector field is
decreasing in strength
• A zero divergence means that the vector field is not
changing in strength
