Now, we can break up the line integrals into line integrals on each piece of the boundary. Also recall from the work above that boundaries that have the same curve, but opposite direction will cancel. Doing this gives,. This will be true in general for regions that have holes in them. Notice that this is the same line integral as we looked at in the second example and only the curve has changed. This is,. Notes Quick Nav Download.
You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width i. Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best views in landscape mode.
In this case,. The details are technical, however, and beyond the scope of this text. Furthermore, since the vector field here is not conservative, we cannot apply the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals. The work done on the particle is. The area of the ellipse is. These two integrals are not straightforward to calculate although when we know the value of the first integral, we know the value of the second by symmetry.
The flux of a fluid across a curve can be difficult to calculate using the flux line integral. Water flows from a spring located at the origin. In this example, we show that item 4 is true. Vector fields that are both conservative and source free are important vector fields. Therefore any potential function of a conservative and source-free vector field is harmonic. Therefore, the counterclockwise orientation of the boundary of a disk is a positive orientation, for example.
The clockwise orientation of the boundary of a disk is a negative orientation, for example. Furthermore, as we walk along the path, the region is always on our left.
