Scalar field
• A field is a region in which a particular function has a
value at each and every point in that region.
• The distribution of a scalar quantity with a definite
position in a space is called scalar field.
• For example, the temperature. It has a definite value
in the atmosphere but no need of direction to specify
it.
To obtain,
From the above equations results in in spherical coordinates:
Cylindrical Coordinates:
•A=0
