Differential Volume in Cylindrical Coordinates

Formulas

The infinitesimal volume in spherical coordinates is given by:

$$ dV=r^{2}\sin\theta dr d\theta d\phi $$

The infinitesimal surface area on a sphere can be obtained without multiplying $dr$ by:

$$ da=\color{blue}{rd\theta} \cdot \color{red}{r\sin\theta d \phi}=r^{2}\sin\theta d\theta d\phi $$
