 Vector Notations
 Definition: A vector is a geometric entity that has
both a magnitude and a direction.
 For our purposes:
 Magnitudes (scalars) are identified with real numbers (+, −, or 0).
 Magnitudes are typically quantified in terms of physical units
 e.g. Newtons of force, Volts/meter of electric field strength
 Directions are in three-dimensional space.
 A vector can be represented by a list of numbers.
 Assumes a particular coordinate system.
 A notational convention:
 In typed documents, we write vectors in bold: A, B, C
 When handwriting, put an arrow over symbol

 Some Vector-Valued Quantities in
Electromagnetic Field Theory
 Electric field vectors:
 E – Electric field strength (or intensity), dimensioned in
voltage/distance = force/charge.
 D – Electric flux density, dimensioned in charge/area.
 Magnetic field vectors:
 B – Magnetic flux density, dimensioned in “magnetic charge”/area.
 H – Magnetic field intensity, dimensioned in force/“magnetic charge”
 Others:
 A – The vector potential
 From which electric and magnetic fields can be derived
 F – Force on a particle
 J – Current density
 R – Position or displacement vector
 And more: velocity, acceleration, angular velocity, torque, etc.

 Vector Magnitude
 The magnitude of a vector A is a scalar quantity A.
 The operation of taking the magnitude of a vector is
denoted by enclosing the vector in vertical bars “|”.

A A
 The magnitude can be thought of as the length of the
vector (if it is pictured as an arrow).
 Note: This differs from the “length” |A|
of a “vector” in computer programming: A
 That means, number of elements in a list.
1-Aug-23 7
 Basic Vector Operations
 Vectors can be added together: B
C

 Example: A = B + C A
 Vectors can be multiplied by scalars: B B
 E.g.: A = B + B = 2B A

  They can also be divided by scalars (≠0).

 Any vector, when multiplied by the scalar 0,
becomes the unique null vector 0.
 For any A, 0A = 0.
1-Aug-23 8
 Unit Vectors
 A unit vector has magnitude 1.
 Convention used in Sadiku book:
 Unit vector is written in bold lowercase: a.
 Another common convention:
 Unit vector has an angled “hat” over it: â
 The unit vector aA in the direction of a given
(nonzero) vector A can be found by dividing
A by its magnitude: a  A so A = |A|aA.

 Component Form
 Any vector A can be written as a sum of 3
component vectors, i.e., as a linear combination of
unit vectors along any 3 linearly independent axes.
 This is called a component representation of the vector.
 E.g., use unit vectors ax, ay, az in the direction of the
x, y, z axes in a Cartesian coordinate system.
 Another common notation: i, j, k or ˆi , ˆj, kˆ
 More about coordinate systems later.
 That is, for any vector A, we can write: Einstein
 A = Ax ax + Ay ay + Az az = ∑i{x,y,z} Aiai = Aiai summation
notation
 I’ll say the component Axax (a vector)
has the numerical coefficient Ax (a scalar).

 Magnitudes in Terms of Components
 To find the magnitude of a vector in terms of
the magnitudes of its components, we can use
a 3D extension of the Pythagorean Theorem.

A A  A  A  A
2
x
2
y
2
z

 Note: This formula assumes we are using an

orthogonal coordinate system, i.e. using unit
vectors that are at right angles to each other.
1-Aug-23 11
 Vector Magnitude – Practice Problem
 What is the distance
from the origin to the
point (3, 4, 0)?
 Use Pythagorean
Theorem
 What is |rP|, the
magnitude of the
vector r(3,4,5) = (3,4,0)
3ax + 4ay + 5az?
1-Aug-23 12
 Addition in Terms of Components
 To add or subtract two vectors, just add or subtract
their corresponding components
 Assuming both component representations are using the
same unit vectors (coordinate system)
 If not, you have to first convert one of the vector representations
into the coordinate system of the other!

A + B = (Axax + Ayay + Azaz) + (Bxax + Byay + Bzaz)

= (Ax + Bx)ax + (Ay + By)ay + (Az + Bz)az

 Basic Algebraic Laws
 Vector addition and vector multiplication by scalars
obey commutative/associative/distributive laws:
 Commutative laws:
 Vector addition is commutative: A+B=B+A
 Scalar multiplication is commutative: sA = As.
 Associative laws:
 Vector addition is associative: A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C
 Scalar multiplication is associative: s(tA) = (st)A.
 Scalar multiplication is distributive, in two ways:
 s(A + B) = sA + sB (across vector addition)
 (s + t)A = sA + tA (across scalar addition)
1-Aug-23 14
 The “Dot Product” Operator
 Takes two vectors and produces a scalar:
A•B = s = AB cos θ
 Where A=|A| etc. and θ is the angle between A and B.
 Definition in terms of orthogonal coefficients:
 A•B = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz
 Some algebraic properties of dot product:
 Distributes over vector addition: A•(B+C)=A•B+A•C
 Commutes with scalar multiplication: s(A•B) = A•(sB)
 Sometimes, the dot product is referred to as an
“inner product” operator.
 As opposed to cross product  “outer product.”

1-Aug-23 15
 Cross Product
 The cross product of vectors A,B is the vector
AB = (AB sin θ)an
 Where AB are magnitudes, θ is the
interior angle, and an is the normal
(perpendicular) unit vector to
A and B, by the “right-hand rule”
 Magnitude is area of
A
parallelogram formed Area |AB|
by A and B. B
1-Aug-23 16
 Some Properties of Cross Product
 The cross product is anticommutative:
A  B = −(B  A)
 It can be written in terms of components as a
matrix determinant:
A  B  a x ( Ay Bz  Az By )  a y ( Az Bx  Ax Bz )  a z ( Ax By  Ay Bx )
ax ay az ax ay az Remember this rule:
 Ax Ay Az Ax Ay Az Forwards order (xyz): positive.
Bx By Bz Bx By Bz Backwards order (zyx): negative.

 a[i Aj Bk ] Modern notation. i,j,k{x,y,z}; [ ] = Anti-

symmetrized sum over permutations of x,y,z
