Magnetostatic Boundary Conditions
An electric field suffers a discontinuity at a surface charge. Similarly, a magnetic field is discontinuous at a surface current. The perpendicular component of a magnetic field is continuous across the interface of two magnetic mediums. In contrast, its parallel component, perpendicular to the current, is discontinuous by the amount equal to the product of the vacuum permeability and the surface current. Like the scalar potential in electrostatics, the vector potential is also continuous...
Thin-Walled Hollow Shafts
In analyzing a thin-walled hollow shaft subjected to torsional loading, a segment with width dx is isolated for examination. Despite its equilibrium state, this segment faces torsional shearing forces at its ends. These forces are quantitatively described by the product of the longitudinal shearing stress on the segment's minor surface and the area of this surface, leading to the concept of shear flow. This shear flow is consistent throughout the structure, indicating a uniform distribution of...
Tangent Planes to Level Surfaces
A level surface consists of all points in space where a function of three variables takes the same fixed value. If a point lies on this surface, understanding the surface’s geometry there requires more than just knowing the point’s coordinates; it requires describing how the surface is oriented, or how it tilts, near that point.To probe this local geometry, imagine tracing a path that stays entirely on the level surface and passes through the point of interest. This path can be described as a...
Extended Versions of Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem connects the circulation of a vector field around a closed curve with the behavior of the field across the region enclosed by that curve. It provides a way to replace a line integral around a boundary with a double integral over the interior region, making it especially useful in plane geometry, fluid flow, and vector calculus.Although Green’s Theorem is often introduced using simple regions without gaps, it can also be applied to regions made from several simple parts. This...
Stokes’ Theorem and Its Applications
Stokes’ Theorem provides a fundamental connection between the circulation of a vector field along a closed boundary and the cumulative rotational behavior across the surface it encloses. For a smooth three-dimensional surface with an oriented boundary curve, this theorem offers a unified way to relate motion along the edge to local rotational effects distributed over the surface.Mathematical FormulationThe theorem states that the circulation of a vector field along a closed curve is equal to...
Divergence Theorem in 3D Space
In vector calculus, flux measures the total flow of a vector field through a surface. For a closed surface in three-dimensional space, this means measuring how much of the field passes outward through every point on the boundary. Directly calculating this flux can be difficult when the surface has a complicated or irregular shape. The Divergence Theorem provides a powerful alternative by relating surface flux to behavior inside the enclosed region.The Divergence Theorem states that the outward...
