For those confused about Auroux's loose definition of "potential," especially with regard to electrical potential, it comes down to an extra charge in the numerator that he somehow neglects. The integral of (gradient of f dot dr) where f is the electric force (denoted by F) is equal to the Work, and also equal to the change in U, the potential energy. The integral of (gradient of f dot dr) where f is the electric field (denoted by E) is equal to the change in V, the electrical potential, which varies from U in that it has one charge in the numerator, rather than two. In other words: F --> U by line integral ; E --> V by line integral. F does not --> V by line integral.

@brilliantdiamonds 18.02 is a required class for all MIT graduates, so the professor doesn't always go into the details of the analysis and whatnot. 18.024 is a more rigorous class for mathy people. On the other hand, I do have to say that this class is actually more rigorous than the calculus courses I took in high school; certainly more so than AP Calc, which was mostly formula dumping.

Physicists insert a minus sign to get a nice looking energy conservation law: K + V = constant. Without the minus sign, conservation of energy would look like this: K - V = constant. Here K is kinetic energy and V is the potential energy.

@brco2003 because the point on the unit circle is given by (cos [angle] , sin [angle] ). Here, your angle is pi/4 . Which you probably know is square root of 2 over 2. But this is just simplified from 1 over the square root of 2, which is the point he has.

hello.I have a question; the lecturer said that if a force field is conservative then you can't have a particle moving for ever in this field. but we know that gravitational field is conservative so why the moon moves around the earth or planet around the sun? thanks in advance.

your question is highly physics related , I mean that there is a physics principal missing out of the picture , I think understanding why the earth doesn't fall on (to) the sun will solve the problem , check that on KZbin .

@PolskaUrban Well isn't math reality? Like, vector fields are useful in describing electromagnetism and forces etc., which are real.
@dw-ud8bg2 жыл бұрын
@Λ well, what constitutes reality? Mathematics is indeed incorporeal in that it does not manifest itself in a physical, tangible form, but one can argue that it is real because its existence undeniably impacts the physical world. In a way, our mathematical capacity directly enables this very comment section. For that, I opine that Mathematics is real. And needless to say, physics is real, too. Finally, I cannot fully fathom what it means to be real either; this which I present is merely my personal point of view and I respect your expressed opinion.
@dw-ud8bg2 жыл бұрын
@Λ, a reasonable perspective, however, I'd still argue that the quality of being real is not fully contingent on whether an object is physical or not. Instead, an object can be considered real if it influences the physical world in a tangible fashion, which Mathematics certainly does. Additionally, as to the proposed physical nonexistence of mathematical constructs, it is not a clear cut either; for example, the notion of number -- and thus, the study of it -- emerges very intrinsically the physical world as the natural quantifier, independent of human practices. Another relevant instance in relation to this is how there exist many physical objects which document mathematics, are enabled by it, or both. Furthermore, like physical phenomena, mathematical entities can also be consistently perceived, gauged, and actioned upon in a physical capacity. In fact, physical phenomena cannot be contemplated effectively in a practical manner without the consideration of mathematical quantities. Any discussion of physical phenomena devoid of actual, observed quantities is often theoretical, abstract, and therefore, incorporeal, divorced from the physical space. In synopsis, my argument is that directly physical existence is merely a subcategory of reality, that an object should be considered real if it indirectly influences the physical world in a tangible, consequential, and indirectly physical manner, and that to an extent, mathematical constructs do manifest physically, albeit indirectly.

@ruben-en4jz5 жыл бұрын
maybe it's to late, but the "potential" of the force is the "potencial energy" ( F=-grad(U) ) and the "potential" of the field (the electric field for example) is the "potential" ( E=-grad(V) ) i used the physics convention
@user-fb4zo8wd5n4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, technically potential and potential energy are not the same thing. However, they are close enough since they differ by a constant factor like charge or mass, depending on the context.

@maxsash7 жыл бұрын
Read about Perpetual machines if you haven't already. That will help clear the doubt. Below, I will try to explain but don't bother if you don't understand. There are much better explanations. The point basically is that if you have 'extra' energy after completing a closed loop, then it can be used to perform that loop therefore the loop will get completed without any external input, and this can be repeated to get infinite outputs without inputs.

It's a unit circle (r=1) and the angle at this point is ø=pi/4 relative to the x_axis, by plugging in those in x=rcosø and y=rsinø you get your point.

In 22:38 isnt the dF/dt a vector? Can anyone explain. Thank you
@DeadPool-jt1ci4 жыл бұрын
df/dt is the rate of change of f with respect to t.It's definitely not a vector. That's why if u take the integral of that with respect to t , you get back f itself.Remember , we are starting with vectors , but gradF is , dr which is a vector is , if you take the dot product of those u get fxdx+fydy. Now you can use the trick that dx = dx/dt * dt , and dy = dy/dt *dt , then factor out the * dt part.So you are left with (fx dx/dt + fy dy/dt) * dt. But the parenthesis is just df / dt. Remember from implicit differentiation , if f = f(x,y) , then df = fxdx + fydy , where fx= partial f with respect to x and fy= partial f with respect to y

Doesn't he make a big mistake in the first example of the video (when he calculates the work done from the field on the particle that is doing the closed path)? To me it seems as if he completely ignores the effect of the vector field when he calculates c2 and c3, as no mention is made of the look of the vectors and their direction in relation to the trajectory. Instead, as he never gave any algeabric description of the vector field, he implicitly assumes (and I think by mistake) that the vector field is tangent to the trajectory along the entire trajectory (i.e. F dot dr = |F||dr|).
@borisbarron18399 жыл бұрын
Your wrong, he uses the formula where the components of 'r' were already expanded. In other words (note everything I write is a vector). F= and r = , so dr = . That means that F * dr = * = Fx dx + Fy dy. At this point he paramatized all the variables in terms of the angle. So everything he did was spot on.
