Section 1: Engineering Mathematics

Vector Calculus

Subtopic: Divergence and curl

Question Statement:

For the position vector $\vec{r} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + z\hat{k}$, the curl $\nabla \times \vec{r}$ is:

Options:

  • (A) $\vec{0}$
  • (B) $3$
  • (C) $\vec{r}$
  • (D) $1$

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\nabla \times \vec{r} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ \partial/\partial x & \partial/\partial y & \partial/\partial z \\ x & y & z \end{vmatrix} = \vec{0}$.
