GEOMETRICAL INTERPETATION:-
dF = │ F││dr│cosθ
if dr = constant,then for maximum change in F,θ=0
so, F =dF/dr
F points is in the direction of maximum change in F.
F is slope at this maximum change direction.
Example:-
If we are standing on hillside,then the direction of
steepest ascent is direction of gradient&slope of
that direction is magnitude of gradient.
