Math 335-001 * Final examination December 21, 2005 Please show all work to receive full credit. Notes and calculators are not allowed. 1. Consider a scalar field f(x, y) = ln y x 2 (a) (6) Sketch the isocurves of this field. Indicate the direction of the gradient (b) (7) Use linear approximation around point (1, 1) to estimate f(1.1, 1.05). 2. (7) Use either suffix notation or vector algebra (whichever you prefer) to get rid of cross products in expression (b a ) a c 3. (10) Simplify the expression a r er , where a is a constant vector, r is the position vector, and r r . Use suffix notation to receive full credit. 4. (15) Use cylindrical coordinates to calculate the divergence of a vector field u =(z x, 0, 0). Make sure the result agrees with the divergence calculated using Cartesian coordinates. Verify the divergence theorem for this field, with volume V equal to the part of the cylinder x2+y2≤4 lying in the y≥0 space, between planes z=0 and z=1. 5. (9) Consider a sphere of radius R with charge density increasing linearly with distance from the center as ρ(r)=a r, where a is a constant. Find the electric potential Ф both inside and outside of the sphere, by solving the Poisson’s equation in spherical coordinates ( 2 / 0 ). Assume that the solution depends on r only: Ф=Ф(r). 6. (7) Consider two point charges located at Cartesian points (0,0,0) and (2,0,0), with electric charges equal to Q and -2Q, respectively. Find the potential and the electric field at point (1,2,0). 7. (9) Write down the Maxwell’s equations in vacuum, and show how to obtain the equation of an electromagnetic wave from these equations. 8. (8) Given a rank-2 tensor T and a vector u, find the transformation rule (in terms of an orthogonal coordinate transform matrix L) for an object w defined through a matrix product expression w = TT u (i.e. w i = TTi ku k) Is w a vector? 9. (10) Calculate the tensor of inertia of a sphere with radius R and mass density increasing linearly with distance from its center: ρ(r)=a r, where a is a constant. 10. (6) For each of the vector fields sketched below, indicate whether it has a nonzero divergence, a non-zero curl, neither non-zero divergence nor curl, or both. Explane your answer 11.
