kindly tell me in short why there is a difference in the form of divergence of spherical co-ordinate system & Laplace form. what is their significance and application

we operate divergence only on vectors while laplacian is operated on scaler
• Nitin meel
In laplacian operater the function is producted(multiplied) two times by the del operator and in divergence it is only once. Generally spherical coordinate system is used to find ...
• Chandra dhawan
basic diff is that divergence is 1s order derivative.. while laplacian is second order so that.. formulas are different -2 ...best regards
Chandra dhawan
hope you got
• Ruby negi
Laplacian is double divergence means Laplacian is divergence of ( divergence of F)... that's why formulas are different for Laplacian and divergence...

and the simple form is operate the divergence on gradient of some scaler fxn

and the basic difference is that divergence is 1st order derivative while laplacian is second order
