Calculate the divergence and curl of the vector fieldm X rwhe... | Filo

SOLVED: As we know, the divergence of a vector field is a key component to understanding the nature of Gauss' Law. Similarly, we are able to define divergence for Spherical Coordinates (limited to the radial component) as: ∇ · V = 1/r^2 ∂(r^2Vr)/∂r If we apply this equation to the electric field of a point charge in an intuitive way (a scalar value pointed radially away from the charge at all points and dying off as 1/r^2), we find that the equation returns 1/r^2 x 0. Logically, the dive
