Volume and surface elements in different co-ordinate systems
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page outlines the value of different volume and surface elements in several different co-ordinate systems.
System | Volume | Surface |
Cartesian | dV = dxdydz | dS = dxdy |
Cylindrical | dV = ρdρdφdz | dS = rdθdz |
Spherical | dV = r2sinθdrdφdθ | dS = r2sinθdφdθ |
