Explanation Given: It is given that, r = 〈 x , y , x 〉 and e r = r ‖ r ‖ The function f ( x , y , z ) = F ( r ) depends only on the distance from the origin r = ‖ r ‖ = x 2 + y 2 + z 2 . Formula used: Chain rule: let f ( x ( s , t ) , y ( s , t ) , z ( s , t ) ) be a differentiable function of x, y and z. And x, y, z are differentiable functions of s and t. Then, ∂ f ∂ s = ∂ f ∂ x ∂ x ∂ s + ∂ f ∂ y ∂ y ∂ s + ∂ f ∂ z ∂ z ∂ s And ∂ f ∂ t = ∂ f ∂ x ∂ x ∂ t + ∂ f ∂ y ∂ y ∂ t + ∂ f ∂ z ∂ z ∂ t Power rule : d d x ( x n ) = n x n − 1 Consider f ( x , y , z ) = F ( r ) Apply the chain rule, ∂ f ∂ x = ∂ f ∂ r ∂ r ∂ x = F ′ ( r ) ⋅ ∂ r ∂ x …… (1) ∂ f ∂ y = ∂ f ∂ r ∂ r ∂ y = F ′ ( r ) ⋅ ∂ r ∂ y …… (2) ∂ f ∂ z = ∂ f ∂ r ∂ r ∂ z = F ′ ( r ) ⋅ ∂ r ∂ z …… (1) Now, it is given that r = ‖ r ‖ = x 2 + y 2 + z 2 Differentiate r partially with respect to x, y and z respectively
