Question

A vector field is defined by: 

F (x,y,z) = -xi - yj + zk 

Select the option that gives F expressed in cylindrical coordinates.

A. F (r,ø,z) = -reø + zez
B. F (r,ø,z) = (-x cos ø - y sin ø) er + (x sin ø - y cos ø) eø + zez 
C. F (r,ø,z) = - rer + zez 
D. F (r,ø,z) = reø + zez 
E. F (r,ø,z) = (x sin ø - y cos ø) er + (-x cos ø - y sin ø) eø + zez
