Question

Vector fields -

is the form F = equal to the form F = Pi+Qj+Rk? if not, how do i convert the first form into the second form?

Answer 1

it is the same

Answer 2

it is just notation

Answer 3

yeah, it's the same because i, j, and k are the standard basis vectors which are just equal to 1

Answer 4

i = 1,0,0
j = 0, 1, 0
k = 0, 0 1

Answer 5

so F <xy,yz,zx> is equal to xy(i)+yz(j)+zx(k)?

Answer 6

yes
