Introduction Introduction The laws of electromagnetic are invariant with coordinate system. When we solve problems in electromagnetic. For Eg. Finding Electric Field at a point, we desire the fields. The position is expressed in terms of Co-ordinates. The co-ordinates are specified by the co-ordinate System.
Most Common Co-ordinate systems are:
•Cartesian Or Rectangular Coordinate system• Cylindrical Coordinate system•Spherical Coordinate system

Spherical Coordinates are the 3D analog of polar representations in the plane.
We divide 3-dimensional space into1. a set of concentric spheres centered at the
origin.2. rays emitting outwards from the origin

(x,y,z)
We start with a point (x,y,z) given in rectangular coordinates.
Then, measuring its distance from the origin, we locate it on a sphere of radius centered at the origin.
Next, we have to find a way to describe its location on the sphere.

We use a method similar to the method used to measure latitude and longitude on the surface of the Earth.
We find the great circle that goes through the “north pole,” the “south pole,” and the point.

We measure the latitude or polar angle starting at the “north pole” in the plane given by the great circle.
This angle is called . The range of this angle is
Note:
all angles are measured in radians, as always.

Representing 3D points in Representing 3D points in Spherical CoordinatesSpherical Coordinates
We use a method similar to the method used to measure latitude and longitude on the surface of the Earth.
Next, we draw a horizontal circle on the sphere that passes through the point.

We measure the latitude or azimuthal angle on the latitude circle, starting at the positive x-axis and rotating toward the positive y-axis.
The range of the angle is

Note that this is the same angle as the in cylindrical coordinates!

( , ,)Our designated point on the sphere is indicated by the three spherical coordinates ( , , ) ---(radial distance, azimuthal angle, polar angle).
Please note that this notation is not at all standard and varies from author to author and discipline to discipline. (In particular, physicists often use to refer to the azimuthal angle and refer to the polar angle.)

First note that if r is the usual cylindrical coordinate for (x,y,z)
we have a right triangle with •acute angle , •hypotenuse , and •legs r and z.

We know that in a Riemann Sum approximation for a triple integral, a summand
This computes the function value at some point in the little “sub-cube” and multiplies it by the volume of the little cube of length , width , and height .

We no longer get a cube, and (similarly to the 2D case with polar coordinates) this affects integration.
