*In this video, the concept of Del Operator, the physical significance of Gradient and how to represent the Gradient of the scalar field in the different coordinate system is explained with solved example.*

The following topics are covered in the video:
0:00 What is Del Operator
3:33 What is Gradient and its physical significance
8:17 Solved Problem

*Del Operator:*
It is a vector differential operator. Depending how this operator is used with vector or scalar field, we will get either Gradient, Divergence or Curl.
When this operator is used with Scalar Field, is gives Gradient of the Scalar Field.

*Gradient of Scalar Field*
The Gradient of the Scalar Field is Vector Quantity. At any given point, the Gradient of Scalar field is the maximum rate of change of the field at that point.
In this video, how to mathematically represent the Gradient in the different coordinate system is explained. And mathematically it is also proved that indeed this gradient points in the direction where there is a maximum change in the scalar field.
