Abstract

Vector analysis is a mathematical tool that is used in expressing and simplifying the related laws and theorems of electric and magnetic fields. The electric and magnetic fields are vector quantities. The characteristics of these fields are analysed by a set of laws known as Maxwell’s equations. The basic knowledge of vectors is important to formulate Maxwell’s equations and to apply in the practical field. Vector addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will be discussed in this chapter. In addition, the three most orthogonal coordinate systems, namely Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical will also be discussed to deeply understand electromagnetic fields and waves.
