Question 15: In the adjoining figure, we find two curves PA and PB through P. Clearly in the
neighbourhood of P the curve PA is bending more rapidly than the curve PB. In other words
curvature of PA is greater than that of PB. If PA and PB are regarded roughly as arcs of
circles then clearly radius of PA is less than the radius of PB.
Let P be any point on a given curve and Q any other point on it. Let the normals at P
and Q intersect in ' N '. If ' N ' tends to a definite position C as Q tends to P (from the right or
from the left) then ' C ' is called the centre of curvature of curve at P and distance CP is called
the radius of curvature of P and is denoted by Greek letter .
The reciprocal of the distance CP is called the curvature of the curve at P. The circle with its
centre at C and radius CP is called the circle of curvature of the curve at P. Radius of
