Chapter 1.6, Problem 1.50P

(a) Let F 1 = x 2 z ^ and F 2 = x x ^ + y y ^ + z z ^ . Calculate the divergence and curl of F1 and F2. Which one can be written as the gradient of a scalar? Find a scalar potential that does the job. Which one can be written as the curl of a vector? Find a suitable vector potential.
(b) Show that F 3 = y z x ^ + z x y ^ + x y z ^ can be written both as the gradient of a scalar and as the curl of a vector. Find scalar and vector potentials for this function.
