  36. Scalar Triple Product : volume of a • parallelepiped. SUMMARY • Vector Triple Product • Quadruple Product of vectors

  37. Gradient is a scalar quantity i.e. gradient of a scalar quantity is a vector quantity, Geometrical Interpretation: Gradient has magnitude and direction

  38. For fix value of magnitude of dl, df is greatest when cos  is zero, i.e. we move in the same direction as f. • The gradient f points in the direction of maximum increase of the function f. • The magnitude f gives the slope (rate of increase) along this maximal direction.

  39. Divergence is a vector quantity. is a scalar quantity is known as divergence of a vector quantity ( ) Physical Significance It represents how much the vector spreads out ( diverges) from the point. If divergence of any vector is positive then it shows Spreading out and if negative then coming towards that point.

  40. Point works as Source Point works as Sink Eg: Divergence of current density: (Current density : current per unit area) at a point gives the amount of charge flowing out per second per unit volumefrom a small closed surface surrounding the point. i.e. the flux entering any element of space is exactly balanced by that leaving it. Such vectors are known as solenoidal vector

  41. Curl is a vector quantity is a vector quantity known as curl of • Physical Significance It is a measure of how much the vector curls around the point.

  42. Problems • 1. If A=3x2y - y3x2, calculate gradient A at a point (1,-2,-1) • 2. If = x2yi-2xzj+2yzk, calculate divergence and curl of a vector at (1,2,1). Ans: 1. 10i-9j 2.(i) 6 (ii) k

  43. Second Derivatives • The gradient, the divergence and the curl are the only first derivatives we can make with , by applying twice we can construct five species of second derivatives. • The gradient is a vector, so we can take the divergence and curl of it. (1) Divergence of gradient : (Laplacian) (2) Curl of gradient: • The divergence is a scalar, so we can take its gradient. (3) Gradient of divergence. • The curl is a vector, so we can take its divergence and curl. (4) Divergence of a Curl. (5) Curl of curl.
