Dot Product
1 Scalar Quantity
Dot product results in a scalar value.
2 Angle Dependence
Depends on the angle between the vectors.
3 Applications
Work done by a force, electric potential.
Cross Product
Vector Quantity Perpendicular Result Applications
Divergence
Measure of how much a vector field diverges or converges.
Curl
Measure of how much a vector field curls or rotates.
Divergence Theorem
Volume Integral
Integral of divergence over a volume.
Surface Integral
Integral of the vector field over the surface
enclosing the volume.
Conversion
Converts volume integral to surface integral.
Stokes' Theorem
Surface Integral
Integral of curl over an open surface.
Line Integral
Integral of the vector field over the closed curve
bounding the surface.
Conversion
Converts surface integral to line integral.
Maxwell's Equations
Gauss's Law for Electric Fields Electric flux through a closed
surface is proportional to the
enclosed charge.
Communications
Radio, television, satellite communication.
Computing
Electronics, data storage, processing.
Biomedical
Medical imaging, treatment, diagnostics.
