Question

Transcribed Image Text:In this problem you will use the same vector field from Problem 2, namely
F(x, y, z) = (3xy, 4xz, -3yz+6)
(where you have already verified that div(F) = 0).
Do the following:
(a) Calculate a vector potential Ā for F.
(b) Check your answer by verifying that curl(A) = F.
For (a) you can use the step-by-step method from class. Here is a quick
review of that method; you can also consult class notes.
Consider a C¹ vector field defined for all (x, y, z) = R³,
F(x, y, z) = (P(x, y, z), Q(x, y, z), R(x, y, z))
Any vector field
A(x, y, z) = (L(x, y, z), M(x, y, z), N(x, y, z))
which is a solution to the vector differential equation
curl(A) = F

Transcribed Image Text:is called a vector potential for F. (We know from class or from Briggs
calculus that div(curl(A)) 0, so only a vector field with divergence 0
=
can have a vector potential; for this problem, you have already calculated
that div(F) = 0 in problem 2).
Here is a procedure to compute a vector potential:
=
Starting from A (L, M, N) where L, M, N are unknown, write the
formula for curl(Ã), set it equal to ♬ = (P,Q,R), and separate into
three component formulas: one for P, one for Q, and one for R.
• Assume L = 0, and use assumption that to simplify the component
formulas for P, Q and R.
Now you know L.
Starting from the formula for Q in step (b), partially integrate with
respect to x to get a formula for N, having an integration constant
f(y, z) that depends on y and z. Assume f(y, z) = 0.
Now you know N.
Starting from the formula for R in step (b), partially integrate with
respect to x to get a formula for M. You should again have an
integration constant g(y, z) that again depends on y and z. This
time do NOT assume that g(y, z) is equal to 0.
Now you partly know M, except you don't yet have a formula for
g(y, z).
Starting with the formula for P in step (b),
-plug in your formulas for N in step (c)
-plug in your formula for M in step (d).
-
Simplify and solve for g(y, z). (There should be no dependence
on x in your formula for g(y, z); if there is, you've done something
wrong, so go back and check through your work).
Now you know M completely.
⚫ Putting it altogether, you've found a formula for a vector potential
A = (L, M, N) of the vector field F.
