Scalar Vector Components in Different Coordinate Systems
Electromagnetic
In EMT, we have to deal with quantities that depend on both time and position
Gradient Gradient of a scalar field is a vector
field which points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of the scalar field, and whose magnitude is the greatest rate of change.
Gradient
In the above two images, the scalar field is in black and white, black representing higher values, and its corresponding gradient is represented by blue arrows.
Divergence Divergence is an operator that measures the
magnitude of a vector field's source or sink at a given point
The divergence of a vector field is a (signed) scalar
For example, for a vector field that denotes the velocity of air expanding as it is heated, the divergence of the velocity field would have a positive value because the air expands. If the air cools and contracts, the divergence is negative. The divergence could be thought of as a measure of the change in density.
Curl Curl is a vector operator that shows a vector
field's "rotation"; The direction of the axis of rotation and the
magnitude of the rotation. It can also be described as the circulation density.
"Rotation" and "circulation" are used here for properties of a vector function of position, regardless of their possible change in time.
A vector field which has zero curl everywhere is called irrotational.
