Tensor Analysis
[ 1 ] Introduction :
- Tensor Are Generalization Of Scalars And Vectors.
- Tensor Are Important In Many Areas Of Physics Including
General Relativity And Electrodynemics.
- A Quantity That Did Not Change Under Rotation Of A Coordinate
System Was Labeled As A Scalar.
- A Scalar Is Specified By One Real Number And Is A Tensor Of
Rank Zero.
- A Quantity Where Components Change Under Rotation Of A
Coordinate System Was Called Vector.
- Tensor Of Order Zero Are Just Scalars .
- Tensor Of Order One Are Just Vectors.
- Tensor Of Order Two Has 3^2 = 9 Components.
- In General A Tensor Of Order N Has 3^N Components.
- Second Order Tensor Are Most Useful In Application.
- Lets Us Write Ohm's Law In The Usual From
Example :
J = σE
Where
J Is Current Density
σ Is Conductivity
E Is Electric Field
- If We Have Isotropic Medium The Conductivity Is A Scalar And
For The Anisotropic Medium Current Density In The X Direction
May So X
Component Of Current Density May Define As
J1 = σ11E1 + σ12E2
+ σ13E3
- In General Ji = ∑ σinEn
- So Ordinary In The Dimension Space The Scaler Conductivity Σ
Has Given Set Of Nine Elments.
- This Array Of Nine Elements Actual Form Tensor.
