Answer

In a gradient field of a temperature function $T=f(x,y)$ The gradient field gives us, at each point, the direction in which the temperature increases most radidly and the rate of that increases.

Work Step by Step

In a gradient field of a temperature function $T=f(x,y)$ The gradient field gives us, at each point, the direction in which the temperature increases most radidly and the rate of that increases. So, The gradient field =$\Delta T=\Delta f(x,y)$ $\Delta T=\frac{\delta}{\delta x}f(x,y)\hat i +\frac{\delta}{\delta y}f(x,y) \hat j$
