EEE 23 DC 1-1: Vector Analysis

This document contains problems involving vector operations and transformations between rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. It includes: 1) Finding vector components, projections, magnitudes, and unit vectors for points in Cartesian coordinates. 2) Converting between rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate representations of vectors and performing vector operations in each system. 3) Calculating a vector field's value and direction at a point, expressing it in different coordinate systems, and finding its magnitude and unit vector. 4) Sketching a volume defined by bounds in cylindrical coordinates and calculating its surface area and enclosed volume. 5) Supplementary problems involving vector fields from an engineering electromagnetics textbook.

Ax = Acyl ax = (2a+5a +3az) ax = 2cos + 5(-sin) + 3(0) = 0.55


Ay = Acyl ay = (2a+5a +3az) ay = 2sin + 5cos + 3(0) = 5.36
Az = Acyl az = (2a+5a +3az) az = 2(0) + 5(0) + 3(1) = 3

Arec = Axax + Ayay + Azaz = 0.55ax + 5.36ay + 3az

Bsph=5ar +2a- a at point P(x=7, y=2, z=3)
NEED: Brec = Bxax + Byay + Bzaz

2 + 2 + 2

= 67.6
= 15.95

Bx = Bsph ax = (5ar +2a- a)ax = 5sincos + 2coscos - (-sin )


= 5.45
Similarly, By = 0.52 and Bz = 0.06

Brec = Bxax + Byay + Bzaz = 5.45ax + 0.52ay + 0.06az
