\textbf{Question}


Sketch the following plane vector field and determine its field
lines.

$\un{F}(x,y) = x\un{i} +y \un{j}$


\textbf{Answer}

$\begin{array}{l}
\textrm{The field lines satisfy }\frac{dx}{x} =\frac{dy}{y}\\
\rm{Thus\ }\ln y =\ln x + \ln C, \ \rm{or} \ y=Cx.\\
\textrm{The field lines are straight half-lines}\\
\textrm{emanating from the origin}
\end{array}
