Orthogonal Coordinate System
A coordinate system is a system of reference axes used to uniquely describe the various quantities needed in
the study of electromagnetics. A system of coordinates forms a unique, universally understood reference by
convention.
An orthogonal system is one in which the coordinates arc
mutually perpendicular.

Fig: Any point is obtained by the intersection The tick marks on the axes are one length unit apart. The black
of 3 planes (red -> constant x plane, yellow -> dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4,
constant y plane and blue -> constant z plane) or (2, 3, 4).
