Differential operator “del”
Del differentiates each component of a vector.
Gradient of a scalar function = slope in each direction
Divergence of vector = dot product = outflow

Separation vector vs. position vector:
Position vector = location of a point with respect to the origin.
Separation vector: from SOURCE (e.g. a charge at position r’) TO POINT of interest (e.g. the place where you want to find the field, at r).

Gauss’ Law practice:
2.21 (p.82) Find the potential V(r) inside and outside this sphere with total radius R and total charge q. Use infinity as your reference point. Compute the gradient of V in each region, and check that it yields the correct field. Sketch V(r).
What surface charge density does it take to make Earth’s field of 100V/m? (RE=6.4 x 106 m)
2.12 (p.75) Find (and sketch) the electric field E(r) inside a uniformly charged sphere of charge density .
