(ECE 401) Quiz 1 - Answer Key

This document contains an answer key for a quiz in an electromagnetics course at Batangas State University. It provides the solutions to 4 problems involving vector analysis concepts like the dot product, cross product, and coordinate systems. For problem 1, it finds the unit vector in the direction of 2N-M, the magnitude of 5ax + N - 3M, and the value of M x 2N(M+N). Problem 2 evaluates a vector field G at a point and finds scalar and vector components. Problem 3 calculates the cross product of two vectors, finds the area of a parallelogram, and a unit vector perpendicular to its plane. Finally, problem 4 converts between cartesian and cylindrical coordinates and finds

Quiz 1
No. 1. Given the vectors 𝐌 = −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧 and 𝐍 = 8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 , find
the following:
a) the unit vector 𝒂𝟐𝐍−𝐌
b) 𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌
c) 𝐌 𝟐𝐍 (M+N)

Problem 1 ▪ Solution for (a)


𝟐𝐍 − 𝐌 = 2(8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 ) − −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧
𝟐𝐍 − 𝐌 = 16𝒂𝑥 + 14𝒂𝑦 − 4𝒂𝑧 + 10𝒂𝑥 − 4𝒂𝑦 + 8𝒂𝑧
𝟐𝐍 − 𝐌 = 26𝒂𝑥 + 10𝒂𝑦 + 𝟒𝒂𝑧
26𝒂𝑥 +10𝒂𝑦 +𝟒𝒂𝑧 26𝒂𝑥 +10𝒂𝑦 +𝟒𝒂𝑧
𝒂𝟐𝐍−𝐌 = = = 0.92𝒂𝑥 + 0.36𝒂𝑦 + 0.14𝒂𝑧

Ex. 4. Given the vectors 𝐌 = −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧 and 𝐍 = 8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 , find
the following:
a) unit vector in the direction of −𝐌 + 𝟐𝐍
b) magnitude of 𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌
c) 𝐌 𝟐𝐍 (M+N)

Problem 1 ▪ Solution for (b)


𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌
= 𝟓𝒂𝒙 + (8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 ) − 3 −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧
𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌 = 5 + 8 + 30 𝒂𝑥 + (7 − 12)𝒂𝑦 + (−2 + 24)𝒂𝑧
𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌 = 43𝒂𝑥 − 5𝒂𝑦 + 22𝒂𝑧

𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌 = (𝟒𝟑)𝟐 + −𝟓 𝟐+ (𝟐𝟐)𝟐 = 48.6

Ex. 4. Given the vectors 𝐌 = −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧 and 𝐍 = 8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 , find
the following:
a) unit vector in the direction of −𝐌 + 𝟐𝐍
b) magnitude of 𝟓𝒂𝒙 + 𝐍 – 𝟑𝐌
c) 𝐌 𝟐𝐍 (M+N)

Problem 1 ▪ Solution for (c)


𝐌 = (−𝟏𝟎)𝟐 + 𝟒 𝟐+ (−𝟖)𝟐 = 13.42
𝟐𝐍 = 𝟐 (𝟖)𝟐 + 𝟕 𝟐+ (−𝟐)𝟐 = 21.63
(𝐌 + 𝐍) = −10𝒂𝑥 + 4𝒂𝑦 − 8𝒂𝑧 + (8𝒂𝑥 + 7𝒂𝑦 − 𝟐𝒂𝑧 )
(𝐌 + 𝐍) = −2𝒂𝑥 + 11𝒂𝑦 − 10𝒂𝑧
𝐌 𝟐𝐍 (M+N) = (13.42)(21.63)(−2𝒂𝑥 + 11𝒂𝑦 − 10𝒂𝑧 )
𝐌 𝟐𝐍 (M+N) = −580.549𝒂𝑥 + 3192.021𝒂𝑦 − 2902.746𝒂𝑧 )
