Calculate the circulation, , in two ways,
directly and using Stokes' Theorem. The vector field
and is the boundary of
, the part of the surface above the
-plane, oriented upward.
Note that is a circle in the -plane. Find a that
parameterizes this curve.
,
with
(Note that answers must be provided for all three of these
answer blanks to be able to determine correctness of the
parameterization.)
With this parameterization, the circulation integral is
,
where and are the endpoints you gave above.
Evaluate your integral to find the circulation:
Using Stokes' Theorem, we equate
.
Find
.
Noting that the surface is given by , find
.
With giving the region in the -plane enclosed by the surface,
this gives
.
Evaluate this integral to find the circulation:
.
