Problem 2: Prove \(-\nabla \frac{1}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime|}=\frac{\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime |^3}\)

Let \[\vec{r}=x_1\hat{x} + y_1\hat{y} + z_1\hat{z}\] \[\vec{r}\prime=x_2\hat{x} + y_2\hat{y} + z_2\hat{z}\] \[\zeta =(\vec{x_1}-\vec{x_2})^2+(\vec{y_1}-\vec{y_2})^2+(\vec{z_1}-\vec{z_2})^2\]

\[\nabla \frac{1}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime|} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\hat{x} + \frac{\partial}{\partial y}\hat{y} + \frac{\partial}{\partial z}\hat{z}\frac{1}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime|}\]

Let us consider only \(\hat{x}\) components. \[\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial}{\partial x}\hat{x}\frac{1}{\zeta^{\frac{1}{2}}} &= \frac{1}{2}\zeta^{-\frac{3}{2}}\zeta\prime \nonumber \\ &=\frac{x_1 - x_2}{\zeta^{\frac{3}{2}}}\hat{x} \nonumber \\ &=\frac{x_1 - x_2}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime|^3}\hat{x} \nonumber\end{aligned}\]

Same procedure occur for the other two component. When we add all, final result become \[-\nabla \frac{1}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime|}=\frac{\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime}{|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\prime |^3}\]
