The substended angle of a circle
Hello! I came across the following formula for the change in the subtended angle (of a circle), when we move our obersvation point [tex]\vec{x}[/tex] by [tex]\delta \vec{x},[/tex]
[tex]\delta \Omega = \oint \hat{x} \cdot \frac{(\delta \vec{x} \times d\vec{l})}{|\vec{x}|^2}. [/tex] The integration path is the circumference of the circle. Do you know any litterature or easy derivation that can prove this fact? Thanks for your help, really appreciated! |
