4.4.32 · D4· Maths › Multivariable Calculus › Stokes' theorem — statement, curl-circulation connection
Yeh Stokes' theorem ka workout page hai. Har problem cleanly state hoti hai, phir ek collapsible callout ke andar complete solution chhupa hota hai taaki aap pehle khud try kar sako. Level "kya tum pieces pehchaan sakte ho" se lekar "kya tum poora argument bana sakte ho" tak chadhte hain.
Shuru karne se pehle, ek common reminder — theorem khud:
Prerequisite skills jo tum baar baar use karoge: curl compute karna, line integrals evaluate karna, aur surface flux integrals setup karna.
Level 1 — Recognition
Goal: theorem ki anatomy padhna. Koi bhari computation nahi.
L1.1 — Kaunsa side kaunsa hai?
aur -plane mein unit circle ke liye, Stokes' theorem ke dono sides likh do (evaluate mat karo), aur har side ka naam batao.
Recall Solution
Left side circulation hai, loop ke around ek line integral: Right side curl ka flux hai disk ke through jo se bounded hai: Abhi kuch compute nahi kiya — point sirf yeh pehchanna hai ki kaunsa object kahan rehta hai: left par ek loop, right par ek surface, aur curl sirf right par aata hai.
L1.2 — Determinant se Curl
ke liye compute karo.
Recall Solution
ke saath determinant layout use karke: Term by term:
To . Yeh ek vector hai, constant, mein point karta hua.
L1.3 — Ek picture se orientation padhna
Disk -plane mein hai jiska normal hai (upar ki taraf point karta hua). Boundary circle ke around kaunse direction mein chalna padega?
Figure s01 — cyan unit circle boundary hai; pale-blue fill disk hai; rim par amber arrows right-hand rule se produce hua chalne ka direction dikhate hain; centre par white marker " (out of page, )" label ke saath tumhari taraf point karta hua hai.

Recall Solution
Apna right thumb ke along upar ki taraf point karo. Tumhari fingers upar se dekhe jaane par (yaani side se) counter-clockwise curl karti hain. To ko -plane mein counter-clockwise traverse kiya jaata hai. Yahi figure mein amber arrow hai. Agar hota, to sab kuch clockwise flip ho jaata.
Level 2 — Application
Goal: machine ko friendly surfaces par end to end chalao.
L2.1 — Flat disk ke zariye Circulation
aur -plane mein unit circle CCW oriented ke saath, Stokes use karke compute karo.
Recall Solution
L1.2 se, . Surface -plane mein unit disk hai jiska hai, isliye . Hum kya karte hain: curl ko normal se dot karo — yeh swirl ka woh piece extract karta hai jo actually surface ke through thread karta hai. Integrand constant hai, isliye flux bas hai: Isliye .
L2.2 — Direct line integral se confirm karo
L2.1 ko ko directly parametrise karke verify karo.
Recall Solution
Unit circle parametrise karo: , , isliye . Curve par . Inhe dot karo: Simplify karo — ek algebra step. use karo, isliye . Phir integrate karo. Kyunki : L2.1 se exactly match karta hai — theorem hold karta hai.
L2.3 — Ek curl-free (conservative-looking) field
Maano . Kisi bhi closed loop ke around compute karo.
Recall Solution
Curl:
To har jagah. Stokes ke zariye, zero curl ka flux kisi bhi surface ke through hai, isliye har closed loop ke liye. Yahi conservative-field situation hai: zero curl locally ek gradient closed-loop circulation vanish ho jaati hai.
Level 3 — Analysis
Goal: smart surface choose karo, aur exploit karo jab integrand collapse ho jaata hai.
L3.1 — Easy surface par swap karo
. triangle ki boundary hai jiske vertices hain, origin se door pointing ke saath oriented. dhundho.
Figure s02 — cyan triangle surface hai jo slanted plane par baitha hai; uske teen white-labelled corners vertices hain; centre se utha hua amber arrow outward normal hai. Isse dekho kyun neeche ka area element ke along point karta hai.

Recall Solution
Curl:
To .
Surface — kahan se aata hai? Triangle ko ek graph ke roop mein likho. Flat -shadow mein ( ke along) aur ( ke along) sides wala ek tiny rectangle socho. Uske do edges ko slanted surface par utha lo: -edge 3D vector ban jaata hai ( mein ek step lo, height se change hoti hai), aur -edge ban jaata hai. Surface par actual patch woh parallelogram hai jo yeh dono span karte hain, aur woh vector jo patch ke perpendicular ho aur length patch ke area ke barabar ho unka cross product hai: Woh single object hi hai: uski direction orientation deti hai (kaunsa side "upar/bahar" hai) aur uski magnitude tilted area deti hai. Yahan hai, isliye Teesre slot mein matlab yeh side ki taraf point karta hai, yaani origin se door — required orientation. Acha.
Dot product: The collapse: plane par, yeh bas hai — ek constant!
Shadow par integrate karo: -plane par project karne par triangle milta hai, jiska area hai.
L3.2 — Wahi rim, alag lid
phir se. unit circle plane mein hai, upar se CCW oriented. ka flux compute karo (a) flat disk ke through, aur (b) upper hemisphere ke through. Kya inhe agree karna chahiye?
Recall Solution
Curl: , baaki components , isliye .
Pehle orientation — dono lids ko upward normal use karna chahiye. Boundary upar se dekhe jaane par CCW chala jaata hai. Right-hand rule se (thumb ke along, fingers ke along), compatible normal upar ki taraf point karta hai ( component positive) chahe kisi bhi lid ke saath cap karo. Isliye:
- flat disk → ;
- hemisphere → outward-aur-upward normal (jiska hai, isliye uska teesra slot hai: upward-facing, jaisi zaroorat hai).
Dono choices mein non-negative -component hai, isliye dono CCW rim se induced same orientation hain — yahi humein compare karne deta hai.
(a) Flat disk: , integrand , area :
(b) Hemisphere — geometrically same answer kyun, dekho. Curl constant vertical vector hai. Upar fix normal ke saath, hai, jahan patch ke horizontal shadow ka signed area hai — signed positive precisely isliye kyunki normal upar ki taraf point karta hai. Ab hemisphere ko tiny patches mein tile karo: equator ke paas ek steep patch bada hoga, lekin woh patla shadow cast karega; top ke paas ek flat patch chhota hoga lekin almost apne barabar shadow dega. Saare (positively-signed) shadows add karo aur tum exactly flat unit disk ko ek baar re-cover karte ho — na overlap, na gap. Isliye Agar hum (galti se) downward hemisphere normal lete, to har sign flip ho jaata aur milta — rim se disagree karta, signal ki hum right-hand rule tod chuke hain.
Inhe agree karna chahiye — dono surfaces same boundary circle share karte hain same induced orientation ke saath, aur Stokes kehta hai curl ka flux par sirf uski boundary ke through depend karta hai. Yeh parent note ke Example 3 ka superpower hai: jo bhi lid aasan ho, woh chuno.
Level 4 — Synthesis
Goal: Stokes ko singularities, curves ke unions, aur reverse reasoning ke saath combine karo.
L4.1 — Hole wala curl-free field
. Dikhaao ki jahan defined hai wahan hai, lekin unit circle CCW ke liye hai. Stokes kyun force nahi karta?
Recall Solution
Curl (axis se door): ke saath, -component hai aur baaki components vanish ho jaate hain kyunki hai aur par depend nahi karte. To har jagah jahan yeh defined hai.
Line integral: par, hai, isliye aur :
Resolution: Stokes require karta hai ki surface par ho (continuous first derivatives — upar definition box dekho) jiska poora interior filled ho. Lekin poori -axis par undefined hai (), aur unit circle ko cap karne wali har disk us axis se pass karti hai. Koi valid surface nahi hai, isliye Stokes simply apply nahi hota — koi contradiction nahi. Yahi parent note ki warning hai punctured surfaces ke baare mein.
L4.2 — Field ko reverse-engineer karo
Kisi field ka curl unit disk par (normal ) hai. Boundary circle ke around circulation dhundho.
Recall Solution
Stokes ke zariye,
Polar coordinates mein switch karo (, ) kyunki integrand aur region dono circular hain — polar se limits clean ho jaati hain: Har piece evaluate karo: aur . Multiply karo: To circulation hai.
L4.3 — Do loops, ek shell
phir se. Cylinder , ki lateral surface socho (sirf side wall, koi top ya bottom nahi). Uski boundary do circles hain: bottom par aur top par. Stokes use karke ke around total circulation dhundho (outward wall normal ke saath).
Recall Solution
Curl: pehle ki tarah, .
Wall flux: side wall ka outward normal purely horizontal hai, isliye Wall ke through flux hai, isliye .
Do rims opposite ways kyun chalti hain — right-hand rule se. Wall ke bahar khado taaki outward normal tumhare chest mein ghuse. Right-hand rule kehta hai: surface apni left par rakhte hue, boundary chalo us normal ko consistent rakhte hue. Wall par ek jagah yeh karo aur trace karo "forward" kahan lead karta hai:
- Top rim () ke along induced direction upar se dekhe jaane par clockwise nikalta hai.
- Bottom rim () ke along woh upar se dekhe jaane par counter-clockwise nikalta hai.
Woh opposite hain kyunki wall unke beech hai aur surface ko tumhare body ke same side par rehna hai jab tum bottom edge se top edge par slide karte ho — circulation ka sense flip ho jaata hai. Concretely, har single circle deta hai (L3.2 se), isliye: zero wall-flux se agree karta hua. Vanishing flux precisely hume bata raha hai ki do rim circulations equal aur opposite hain.
Level 5 — Mastery
Goal: structural facts prove karo aur Stokes ko wider theory se connect karo.
L5.1 — Gradient ka curl zero kyun hota hai ()
Prove karo ki kisi bhi twice-continuously-differentiable () scalar ke liye, hai, aur Stokes ke zariye interpret karo.
Recall Solution
Yahan hai, isliye hum set karte hain aur curl compute karte hain:
Clairaut's theorem ke zariye ( function ke liye — continuous second partials — mixed partials equal hote hain, etc.), har bracket hai. Isliye .
Stokes interpretation: ek gradient field ko Stokes mein feed karo. Right-hand side ka flux ban jaata hai, jo hai kisi bhi surface ke through. Isliye left-hand side bhi vanish ho jaata hai: har closed loop ke around. Yahi statement hai ki potential fields kisi bhi closed path ke around zero net work karte hain — energy ka "jo upar jaata hai woh neeche aata hai." Stokes algebraic identity ko physical fact mein turn karta hai ki gradient fields conservative hote hain.
L5.2 — Stokes plane mein Green ban jaata hai
Dikhaao ki agar -plane mein flat region hai aur hai, to Stokes Green's theorem ban jaata hai.
Recall Solution
aur ke saath, curl ka sirf -slot matter karta hai: Phir Stokes yeh likhta hai: jo verbatim Green's theorem hai. To Green, Stokes ka flat, 2D shadow hai.
L5.3 — Faraday's law as Stokes in action
Maxwell ka induction law hai Stokes use karke is integral law ko local (differential) law mein convert karo.
Recall Solution
Left side par Stokes apply karo, ki circulation ko curl flux mein badal do: Right side se equate karo, time derivative andar le jaao (fixed surface): Kyunki yeh har surface ke liye hold karta hai, integrands pointwise match karne chahiye: Faraday's law ka differential form — Maxwell's equations mein se ek. Stokes integral (loop/flux) aur local (curl) statements ke beech bridge hai.
