EMFT Reporting Writing

The report discusses the concepts of fields in electromagnetic theory, specifically distinguishing between scalar fields and vector fields. A scalar field is defined by scalar functions at each point in a region, exemplified by temperature variations, while a vector field is characterized by vector quantities, such as wind velocity during a cyclone. The report includes mathematical expressions and graphical representations to illustrate the behavior of vector fields based on varying coordinates.

o Field: If at each point of a region there exists


some value of a Physical function, then the region
is called FIELD of that particular function.

o There are two types of fields,


that is Scalar Field and Vector
Field.

o Scalar Field: If at each point of a region there


exists some value of a scalar function, then the
region is called scalar field of that particular scalar
function.

o Example: Temperature is a scalar quantity but it


depends upon (x,y,z) of the observer. Like, Kolkata
& CoochBehar have different position on earth
surface is different. So in space we have a scalar
field of Temperature. It can be denoted as T(x,y,z)
mathematically.
o Vector Field: If at each point of a region there
exist a vector then that region is said to have a
vector field of that particular vector quantity.

o Example: In a region where cyclone is happening


is happening, wind velocity is not same
everywhere. Wind velocity experienced by an
observer depends upon the position (x,y,z) of the
observer. So, we can say that in the region there
exist a velocity vector field of wind.

o Mathematical Expression of Vector


Field:
o Vector Field ⃗F can be mathematically defined as:
o ⃗ ^ N ^j ………………… (i)
F =M i+
o Where, M=f(x,y) & N=g(x,y)

o Drawing a vector field from its Mathematical


Expression: -
Let us, take a very easy vector field as an example:
⃗
F =x i^ + y ^j ………… (ii), here, M=x & N=y.
To draw the vector field shown in equation-
(ii) on a plane like Fig-1, we need to put some values of x
and y in the equation (ii). Let, x=0, y=0, then ⃗F =0. It
means the vector field doesn’t exist at origin.
Now, let’s put x=1, y=0 then ⃗F =i^ , i^ is shown in the
Fig-1. Now it is parallelly transported to the point (1,0) as
shown in the Fig-2.

Let’s put x=1, y=1 then ⃗F =i^ + ^j ; so in this case ⃗F is the


^ ^j . It has been obtained in Fig-3 and it is
resultant of i∧
parallelly transported to (1,1) point as shown in Fig-4.
Now, for x=0,y=1 ; then ⃗F = ^j that is shown in
Fig-4.

Now, for x=-1 , y=1 ; then ⃗F =−i^ + ^j . For x=-1,y=0 then


⃗
F =−i^
For x=-1 , y=-1 then ⃗F =−i^ − ^j . All these vectors are
plotted on Fig-5 along with the precarious ones shown in Fig-
4.
Now, two more points are considered x=0,y=-1 then ⃗F =− ^j and
x=1,y=-1 ⃗F =i^ − ^j .These two are also added to Fig-5 and we get
the Fig-6.

Now, let’s consider x=2 & y=2 point then , ⃗F =2 i^ +2 ^j.


Fig-7(a) shows the vector (2i+2j) and in Fig-7(b) it ha been
parallelly transported from origin to point (2,2).

Fig-8 is obtained by putting the vector shown in Fig-7(b) in Fig-


6.

It can be observed that the values of x and


y are increasing. The vectors become larger in magnitude. In
other words , as we move away from the origin , the vectors
have larger magnitude and they are drawn with longer length.
If we consider many more points , in the same process
described above, then we will have the geometric plot of the
vector field ⃗F =x i^ + y ^j .
As shown below in Fig-9.
