πŸ§„Verification of Vector Calculus Identities in Different Coordinate Systems

Divergence and curl represent physical properties of a vector field-specifically the "spreading out" and "rotation"-that remain invariant regardless of the coordinate system used for calculation. For the position vector xx, the divergence consistently equals 3 , reflecting the fact that the field expands uniformly in three dimensions ( 1+1+1). Meanwhile, the curl is consistently 0 , confirming that the position vector is a radial, irrotational field. While the mathematical expressions for these operators become more complex in cylindrical and spherical systems due to the inclusion of scale factors like ρ,r\rho, r, and sin⁑θ\sin \theta, they ultimately yield identical results to the simpler Cartesian derivatives, demonstrating the consistency of vector calculus across different geometries.
