Hello I've been having trouble finding the curl of
A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ].
Could someone help me please?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm very sorry I'm new here I'm not very familiar with latex here.
A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ].
r^2 would be r squared
[e][/Φ] would be the unit vector of φ
:nb)

Sorry, I'm not familiar with those symbols. Can you retype it using latex?

##[A⃗] = r^2 \hat \phi##

No problem, many members here are also unfamiliar with latex, but I see you have put some times to learn it. That's a good start and ... latex is not so difficult.
 
Thank you for showing me how to use latex.Can you help me find the curl of this vector please?
