Question

Which one of the following vector functions represents a magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) ?

(x̂, ŷ, and ẑ are unit vectors along x-axis, y-axis and z-axis, respectively)  

The correct answer is

10x x̂ + 20y ŷ - 30z ẑ

A magnetic flux density must satisfy \(\nabla\cdot\mathbf B=0\). The divergences of the four options are respectively 10, −10, 0 and 20. Only \(\mathbf B=10x\hat x+20y\hat y-30z\hat z\) satisfies the condition.
