Perpendicular Curves in Calculus

Description

Orthogonal trajectories are a pair of curve families that cross at right angles. In this example, the starting family is made of parabolas that open sideways along the x-axis. They share the same shape, but a scaling parameter changes how wide each curve is. Every curve in the family passes through the origin and spreads out...

Im Elektromagnetismus stehen elektrische Feldlinien – die die Richtung der elektrischen Kraft darstellen – stets senkrecht zu Äquipotentiallinien, entlang derer die potenzielle Energie konstant bleibt.

Diese beiden Liniensätze schneiden sich im rechten Winkel und bilden orthogonale Trajektorien.

Um das Konzept mathematisch zu versteh...
