Conversion from cylindrical to Cartesian coordinates |
x= r cos(θ) y= r sin(θ) z=z |
|
Relationship between r and x,y |
r= √(x²+y²) |
|
Relationship between θ and x,y |
θ= tan⁻¹(y/x) if x>0 and y≥0 θ= π + tan⁻¹(y/x) if x<0 θ= 2π tan⁻¹(y/x) if x>0 and y<0 |
|
Boundaries for θ in cylindrical coordinates |
0≤θ≤2π |
|
θ if x=0 |
θ= π/2 for y>0 θ= 3π/2 for y<0 |
|
θ when x=y=0 |
undefined |
|
requirements for r |
r>0 |
|
Length of a vector in cylindrical coordinates given (x,y,z) |
p= √(x²+y²+z²) |
|
Length of a vector in spherical coordinates given (x,y,z) |
p= √(x²+y²+z²) |
|
Conversion from spherical to Cartesian coordinate system (v= xi + yj +zk |
p= √(x²+y²+z²) ∅= cos⁻¹(z/r)
x= p sin(∅) cos(θ) y= p sin(∅) sin(θ) z= p cos(∅) |
|
Limits of p and ∅ |
p≥0 0≤∅≤π |
|
Finding θ in spherical coordinate system |
Same as cylindrical system rules
θ= tan⁻¹(y/x) if x>0 and y≥0 θ= π + tan⁻¹(y/x) if x<0 θ= 2π tan⁻¹(y/x) if x>0 and y<0 |
