Prove the statement just made about the orientation. Stokes theorem note that, in example 2, we computed a surface integral simply by knowing the values of f on the boundary curve c. In this section we are going to relate a line integral to a surface integral. Do the same using gausss theorem that is the divergence theorem. Let n denote the unit normal vector to s with positive z component. Stokes theorem let s be an oriented surface with positively oriented boundary curve c, and let f be a c1 vector. Stokes theorem in these notes, we illustrate stokes theorem by a few examples, and highlight the fact that many di erent surfaces can bound a given curve. Find the counterclockwise circulation by using the lefthand side of stokes theorem, then find the curl integral by using the righthand side of stokes theorem and compare your results. Dec 03, 2018 this video lecture of vector calculus stokes theorem example and solution by gp sir will help engineering and basic science students to understand following topic of mathematics. To show this, use the symbol, which suggests the feathers of an arrow or the ns of a rocket. Chapter 18 the theorems of green, stokes, and gauss. Stokes theorem relates a surface integral of a the curl of the vector field to a line integral of the vector field around the boundary of the surface. The curve \c\ is oriented counterclockwise when viewed from the end of the normal vector \\mathbfn,\ which has coordinates.
Example 2 use stokes theorem to evalu ate when, and is the triangle defined by 1,0,0, 0,1,0, and 0,0,2. Let s be a smooth surface with a smooth bounding curve c. Solution the hemisphere looks much like the image below, with the circumference of the pink bottom being the bounding circle \ c \ in the \ xy \ plane. Examples of using greens theorem to calculate line integrals. C has a counter clockwise rotation if you are above the triangle and looking down towards the xy plane. Surface integrals, stokes theorem and the divergence theorem. Stokes theorem also known as generalized stokes theorem is a declaration about the integration of differential forms on manifolds, which both generalizes and simplifies several theorems from vector calculus. As per this theorem, a line integral is related to a surface integral of vector fields. The divergence theorem states that if is an oriented closed surface in 3 and is the region enclosed by and f is a vector. To use stokes theorem, we need to think of a surface whose boundary is the given curve c. The orientation induced by the upward pointing normal gives the counterclock wise orientation to the boundary of sthe circle of radius 4 centered at 0.
If we have another oriented surface with the same boundary curve c, we get. This video lecture of vector calculus stokes theorem example and solution by gp sir will help engineering and basic science students to understand following topic of. We suppose that \s\ is the part of the plane cut by the cylinder. In this section we are going to take a look at a theorem that is a higher dimensional version of greens theorem. Stokes theorem states that if s is an oriented surface with boundary curve c, and f is a vector field differentiable throughout s, then.
C is the curve shown on the surface of the circular cylinder of radius 1. For example for a sphere, this can be seen by cutting the sphere into two hemispheres. Stokes theorem example the following is an example of the timesaving power of stokes theorem. Find materials for this course in the pages linked along the left. Then for any continuously differentiable vector function. We assume there is an orientation on both the surface and the curve that are related by the right hand rule. The line integral is very di cult to compute directly, so well use stokes theorem. Vector calculus stokes theorem example and solution by. Stokes theorem relates line integrals of vector fields to surface integrals of vector fields. The divergence theorem examples math 2203, calculus iii november 29, 20 the divergence or. If we apply stokes theorem to each and add the resulted identities, the two boundary integrals cancel and we get what we claimed. Greens theorem 1 chapter 12 greens theorem we are now going to begin at last to connect di.
We need to have the correct orientation on the boundary curve. Consider the surface s described by the parabaloid z16x2y2 for z0, as shown in the figure below. The curl of a vector function f over an oriented surface s is equivalent to the function f itself integrated over the boundary curve, c, of s. If youre behind a web filter, please make sure that the domains. Some practice problems involving greens, stokes, gauss. Evaluate rr s r f ds for each of the following oriented surfaces s. Aug 03, 2015 thank you romsek for the solution and hallsofivy for the feedback, here is my original solution i should have kept it in the post. Verify the equality in stokes theorem when s is the half of the unit sphere centered at the origin on which y.
