VECTOR CALCULUS
In this chapter, we study the calculus
of vector fields.
These are functions that assign vectors
to points in space.

VECTOR CALCULUS
We define:
Line integrals—which can be used to find
the work done by a force field in moving
an object along a curve.
Surface integrals—which can be used to find
the rate of fluid flow across a surface.

Vector Fields
In this section, we will learn about:
Various types of vector fields.
VECTOR CALCULUS
![Page 6: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
VECTOR FIELDS
The vectors displayed are air velocity vectors.
They indicate the wind speed and direction at points
10 m above the surface elevation in the San Francisco
Bay area.

VECTOR FIELDS
Notice that the wind patterns on
consecutive days are quite different.
![Page 8: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
VELOCITY VECTOR FIELD
Associated with every point in the air,
we can imagine a wind velocity vector.
This is an example of
a velocity vector field.
![Page 9: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
VELOCITY VECTOR FIELDS
Other examples
of velocity vector
fields are:
Ocean currents
Flow past an airfoil

FORCE FIELD
Another type of vector field, called
a force field, associates a force vector
with each point in a region.
An example is the gravitational force field
that we will look at in Example 4.
![Page 11: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
VECTOR FIELD
In general, a vector field is a function
whose:
Domain is a set of points in (or ).
Range is a set of vectors in V2 (or V3).

VECTOR FIELD ON
Let D be a set in (a plane region).
A vector field on is a function F
that assigns to each point (x, y) in D
a two-dimensional (2-D) vector F(x, y).

VECTOR FIELDS ON
The best way to picture a vector field is
to draw the arrow representing the vector
F(x, y) starting at the point (x, y).
Of course, it’s impossible to do this
for all points (x, y)

![Page 14: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
VECTOR FIELDS ON
Still, we can gain a reasonable impression
of F by doing it for a few representative points
in D, as shown.

VECTOR FIELDS ON
Since F(x, y) is a 2-D vector, we can write it
in terms of its component functions P and Q
as:
F(x, y) = P(x, y) i + Q(x, y) j
= <P(x, y), Q(x, y)>
or, for short,
F = P i + Q j

![Page 16: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SCALAR FIELDS
Notice that P and Q are scalar functions
of two variables.
They are sometimes called scalar fields
to distinguish them from vector fields.
![Page 17: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
VECTOR FIELD ON
Let E be a subset of .
A vector field on is a function F
that assigns to each point (x, y, z) in E
a three-dimensional (3-D) vector F(x, y, z).

VECTOR FIELDS ON
A vector field F
on is shown.
We can express
it in terms of
its component
functions
P, Q, and R as:
F(x, y, z) = P(x, y, z) i + Q(x, y, z) j + R(x, y, z) k

CONTINUOUS VECTOR FIELDS ON
As with the vector functions in Section 10.1,
we can define continuity of vector fields.
We can show that F is continuous if and only
if its component functions P, Q, and R are
continuous.

![Page 20: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
VECTOR FIELDS ON
We sometimes identify a point (x, y, z) with
its position vector x = <x, y, z> and write F(x)
instead of F(x, y, z).
Then, F becomes a function that assigns
a vector F(x) to a vector x.

VECTOR FIELDS ON
A vector field on is defined by:
F(x, y) = –y i + x j
Describe F by
sketching some
of the vectors
F(x, y) as shown.

VECTOR FIELDS ON
Since F(1, 0) = j, we draw the vector j = <0, 1>
starting at the point (1, 0).
Since F(1, 0) = –i,
we draw the vector
<–1, 0> with starting
point (0, 1).

Continuing in this way, we calculate several
other representative values of F(x, y) in this
table.

We draw the corresponding vectors to
represent the vector field shown.

VECTOR FIELDS ON
It appears that each arrow is tangent to
a circle with center the origin.
Example 1 °2
![Page 26: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
VECTOR FIELDS ON
To confirm this, we take the dot product
of the position vector x = x i + y j with
the vector F(x) = F(x, y):
x . F(x) = (x i + y j) ∙ (–y i + x j)
= –xy + yx
= 0

VECTOR FIELDS ON
This shows that F(x, y) is perpendicular to
the position vector <x ,y> and is therefore
tangent to a circle with center the origin and
radius .

Notice also that:
So, the magnitude of the vector F(x, y)
is equal to the radius of the circle.

VECTOR FIELDS
Some computer algebra systems (CAS)
are capable of plotting vector fields in two
or three dimensions.
They give a better impression of the vector field
than is possible by hand because the computer
can plot a large number of representative vectors.

VECTOR FIELDS
The figure shows a computer plot of
the vector field in Example 1.
Notice that the
computer scales
the lengths of
the vectors so they
are not too long and
yet are proportional
to their true lengths.

VECTOR FIELDS
We were able to draw the vector field
in Example 2 by hand because of its
particularly simple formula.
![Page 35: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
VECTOR FIELDS
Most 3-D vector fields, however, are
virtually impossible to sketch by hand.
So, we need to resort to a CAS.
Examples are shown in the following figures.
![Page 36: VECTOR CALCULUS - Direktori File UPIfile.upi.edu/Direktori/FPTK/JUR._PEND._TEKNIK... · GRAVITATIONAL FIELD Example 4 The function given by Equation 3 is an example of a vector field](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060416/5f1442844f2d522b810a10ae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

These vector fields have similar formulas.
Still, all the vectors in the second figure point
in the general direction of the negative y-axis.

are all –2.

If the vector field in this figure represents
a velocity field, then
a particle would:

Spiral around the
z-axis in the clockwise
direction as viewed
from above.

VELOCITY FIELDS
Imagine a fluid flowing steadily along a pipe
and let V(x, y, z) be the velocity vector at
a point (x, y, z).
Then, V assigns a vector to each point (x, y, z)
in a certain domain E (the interior of the pipe).
So, V is a vector field on called a velocity field. °3

Velocity fields also occur in other areas
of physics.
For instance, the vector field in Example 1
could be used as the velocity field describing
the counterclockwise rotation of a wheel.

it associates a vector [the force F(x)] with
every point x in space.

Suppose an electric charge Q is located
at the origin.
By Coulomb’s Law, the electric force F(x) exerted
by this charge on a charge q located at a point
(x, y, z) with position vector x = <x, y, z> is:
where ε is a constant
(that depends on the units used).

For unlike charges, we have qQ < 0
and the force is attractive.

physicists often consider the force per unit

A vector field F is called a conservative
vector field if it is the gradient of some scalar
function—that is, if there exists a function f
such that F = .
In this situation, f is called a potential function
for F.
