Example 1

Consider a particle moving in a potential field , (1) Prove the average energy equation: , where W is energy density, (2) Prove the energy conservation equation: , where is energy flux density:

Prove: the energy operator in three dimensions is: so the average energy in state is: , Using: , hence: ,
