    Gradient of the dot product of two vectors that are the same

    Hi, I am trying find the simplified expression of this: ∇(E \cdot E) Where E is the electric field that can written as E_{0}(exp(i(kx-ωt)) I know that since the two vectors are the same => E \cdot E = ||E||^{2} Do I take the gradient of the magnitude then? It just doesn't feel...
