Which of the following criteria is used to choose a coordinate system?(a) Distance(b) Intensity(c) Magnitude(d) GeometryI had been asked this question in a job interview.My doubt is from Cartesian Coordinate System in section Coordinate Systems and Transforms of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (d) Geometry

To elaborate: The coordinate SYSTEM is CHOSEN based on the geometry of the given problem. From a POINT charge +Q, the electric field spreads in all 360 DEGREES. The calculation of electric field in this case will be spherical system.
