Vector Definition • A scalar is a quantity like mass or temperature that only has a magnitude. • On the other had, a vector is a mathematical object that has magnitudeanddirection, e.g. velocity, force. • A line of given length and pointing along a given direction, such as an arrow, is the typical representation of a vector. O. Kilic EE543
Vector Notation • Typical notation to designate a vector is a boldfaced character, a character with and arrow on it, or a character with a line under it (i.e., A, ). • The magnitude of a vector is its length and is normally denoted by . O. Kilic EE543
Vector Addition • Addition of two vectors is accomplished by laying the vectors head to tail in sequence to create a triangle. O. Kilic EE543
Vector Algebra Rules P and Q are vectors and a is a scalar O. Kilic EE543
Unit Vectors • A unit vector is a vector of unit length. • A unit vector is sometimes denoted by replacing the arrow on a vector with a "^" or just adding a "^" on a boldfaced character. and O. Kilic EE543
Unit Vectors(2) • Any vector can be made into a unit vector by dividing it by its length. • Any vector can be fully represented by • providing its magnitude and a unit vector along • its direction. O. Kilic EE543
Base Vectors • The base vectors of a rectangular coordinate system are given by a set of three mutually orthogonal unit vectors denoted by and that are along the x, y, and z coordinate directions, respectively. O. Kilic EE543
Components Along Basis Vectors • In a rectangular coordinate system the components of the vector are the projections of the vector along the x, y, and z directions. • For example, in the figure the projections of vector A along the x, y, and z directions are given by Ax, Ay, and Az, respectively.

Vectors in Electromagnetics • In em, we typically deal with vectors that are functions of position for a given direction.

Electric and magnetic fields are related to each other through a differential operator. O. Kilic EE543
Main operators in vector calculus • Divergence • Gradient • Curl • Laplacian O. Kilic EE543
Vector Differentiation - Operator • One of the most important and useful mathematical constructs is the "del operator", usually denoted by (which is called the "nabla"). • This can be regarded as a vector whose components in the three principle directions of a Cartesian coordinate system are partial differentiations with respect to those three directions. O. Kilic EE543
Operator • All the main operations of vector calculus, namely, the divergence, the gradient, the curl, and the Laplacian can be constructed from this single operator. • The entities on which we operate may be either scalar fields or vector fields. O. Kilic EE543
The Gradient (Scalar to vector) • If we simply multiply a scalar field such as p(x,y,z) by the del operator, the result is a vector field, and the components of the vector at each point are just the partial derivatives of the scalar field at that point, i.e., O. Kilic EE543
The Divergence (Scalar Product, Dot Product) (Vector to scalar) • The divergence of a vector field v(x,y,z) = vx(x,y,z)i + vy(x,y,z)j + vz(x,y,z)k is a scalar O. Kilic EE543

The Laplacian Operator (Scalar to scalar) • This is sometimes called the "div grad" of a scalar field, and is given by • For convenience we usually denote this operator by the symbol 2 O. Kilic EE543
Stoke’s Theorem • The line integral of a vector along a closed path C is equal to the integral of the dot product of its curl and the normal to the surface which contains C as its contour. S ds dl C A O. Kilic EE543
