    Understanding Divergence: Can You Find the Divergence of a Scalar Function?

    I'm doing an assignment where the lecturer has said scalar function g(x,y,z) = x^3 + y + z^2 and vector field F = (2xz,sin y,e^y) and asked find a) grad g which is fairly easy, but then b) div g and my understanding was that you can only find the divergence of a vector...

    Solving Maxwell's Equations: Problems with Electromag Unit

    I need to Compute for both waves the magnetic flux density B and the Poynting vector P = E x H. Now I figure I need to use faradays law to find B, but how do I do Del cross E where E= Eo sin (kz-wt) and again for E = Eo(cos(kz-wt)ex + sin(kz-wt)ey)

    Solving Maxwell's Equations: Problems with Electromag Unit

    Having some problems with my Electromag Unit again. Heres the questions I'm having problems with, any help would be appreciated 1 For plane electromagnetic waves in a homogeneous, linear, uncharged non conductor Formulate the Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic fields E and B...

    Dielectric/Conductor Interface

    In regards to the conditions of Megans question the question just states that there is a bound surface charge density sigma b, and a free surface charge density sigma f. So how do I use that in Maxwells equations?

    Why Do Line and Surface Integrals Yield the Same Result for a Triangle Path?

    Okay I managed to Answer all questions, But I still have one question I need answered Why does one obtain the same result in (b) as in (a)?

    Learn How to Derive Gauss and Stokes Theorems for Vector Analysis"

    Okay our lecturer said that we should try to simplify both theorems when A is a constant vector, not a function of space coordinate r=(x,y,z)). Does that help someone to work out how do do this question, if someone could show me how to do it I would be very happy

    How Does Gauss's Law Change in Dielectric Materials?

    Hmm okay not sure I follow you. So what exactly is different about it compared to in any other material?

    Learn How to Derive Gauss and Stokes Theorems for Vector Analysis"

    I'm trying to do the same Question as Galipop, and while I have managed to do question 2 he posted I haven't gotton Question One yet. Any idea how to derive Gauss and stokes for that field? It seems to want us to derive the theorems rather than proove them

    How Does Gauss's Law Change in Dielectric Materials?

    Hey everyone, this is my first question on here, but I've seen you all be very helpful to others to I was hoping someone could clarify something for me. 1. How does Gauss law modify in dielectric materials?
