Solution<br />

In terms of the base vectors , the given vector v is expressed by the equation<br />

We note here that indices i, j, and k appear four times in this line; however,<br />

the summation convention has not been violated. Terms that are separated<br />

by a plus or a minus sign are considered different terms, each having summation<br />

convention rules applicable within them. Vectors joined by a dot or<br />

cross product are not distinct terms, and the summation convention must<br />

be adhered to in that case. Carrying out the indicated multiplications, we<br />

see that<br />

v =<br />

Since a must equal v, this example demonstrates that the vector v may be<br />

resolved into a component ( v⋅nˆ) nˆ<br />

in the direction of ˆn , and a component<br />

nˆ × v× nˆ<br />

perpendicular to ˆn .<br />

Example 2.2-3<br />

Using Eq 2.2-13, show that (a) ε and that (b) . (Recall<br />

mkqεjkq = 2δmj<br />

ε ε = 6<br />

jkq jkq<br />

that δ = 3 and δ δ = δ .)<br />

Solution<br />

(a) Write out Eq 2.2-13 with indice i replaced by k to get<br />

ε ε = δ δ −δ<br />

δ<br />

mkq jkq mj kk mk kj<br />

= 3δ − δ = 2δ<br />
