    Sujoy Shivde
    Stoke's theorem relates a line integral around a closed curve C to a surface integral over any surface S whose boundary is C. Specifically, it states that for a continuously differentiable vector function F(x,y,z), the line integral of F dot dr around C equals the surface integral of curl(F) dot dS over S, assuming consistent orientations of C and S. The document provides the mathematical statement of Stokes' theorem, discusses its relationship to Green's theorem, and gives examples of applying it to evaluate line and surface integrals.

    Stoke’s theorem

    It gives the relationship between two completely different quantities- line integral and the surface
    integral‼! Yet another fascinating theorem- a marvel of vector calculus. We can think it as a 3-D
    version of the Green’s theorem.

    1 Statement
    Let S be a smooth surface with a smooth bounding curve C. Then for any continuously differentiable
    vector function, F (x, y, z) = [P, Q, R], where P, Q, R are functions of x, y, z.
    I ZZ
    F · dr = curl(F ) · dS
    C S

    We assume there is an orientation on both the surface and the curve that are related by the right
    hand rule. That is, if you were to walk around the curve in its preferred direction with your head
    pointing in the same direction as the normal vector ~n to the surface, then the surface would always
    be on your left (see the following figure for reference).

    Thus, Stoke’s theorem says that the line integral around the boundary curve of S of the tangential
    component of F is equal to the surface integral of the normal component of the curl of F .

    Equivalent form of the stokes theorem:


    I ZZ
    ∂R ∂Q ∂P ∂R ∂Q ∂P
    P dx + Qdy + Rdz = ( − )dydz + ( − )dzdx + ( − )dxdy
    ∂y ∂z ∂z ∂x ∂x ∂y
    C S

    *Note:
    There are three types of questions possible‼!
    1. Verify the Stoke’ss theorem → evaluate both line and surface integrals(We will accept your
    answers to the plus-minus sign error)

    1
    2. Evaluate the line integral using Stoke’s theorem → evaluate surface integral

    3. Evaluate the surface integral integral using Stoke’s theorem → evaluate line integral

    Make sure to find appropriate parametrizations for both boundary C and the surface S if required!

    2 Application of the Stoke’s theorem


    This gives glimpses on how we can apply Stoke’s theorem to prove certain things.

    • Show that the following line integral is zero along any closed curve C.
    I
    yzdx + xzdy + xydz
    C

    Ans. The vector field is F (x, y, z) = [yz, xz, xy], observe that curl(F ) = 0. Therefore,
    I ZZ
    yzdx + xzdy + xydz = 0 · dS = 0
    C S

    where S is any good surface (which we can create on our own) having the boundary C.

    • Prove the Green’s theorem using Stokes theorem

    • Draw an analogy between Stoke’s theorem, Green’s theorem and the Fundamental theorem
    of calculus

    3 Examples
    1. Verify the Stoke’s theorem:
    Consider F = [3y, 4z, −6x] and the surface S described by the paraboloid z = 16 − x2 − y 2
    for z ≥ 0, as shown in the figure below.

    Solution:
    Line integral: Observe that boundary of the paraboloid is the circle x2 + y 2 = 16. Thus, we

    2
    can parametrize it as r(t) = [4cos t, 4sin t, 0]; 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π.
    Therefore,
    I Z2π
    F · dr = F (x(t), y(t), z(t)] · r0 (t)dt
    C 0
    Z2π
    = [12sin t; 0, −24cos t] · [−4sin t, 4cos t, 0]dt
    0
    Z2π
    = (−48sin2 t + 0 + 0)dt
    0
    Z2π
    = −48 sin2 tdt
    0
    = −48π

    Surface integral: We can either project the paraboloid on the x-y plane or parametrize it to
    find the surface integral! Give it a try, you must get −48π as the final answer.

    2. Evaluate the line integral using Stoke’s theorem


    Let F (x, y, z) = [−y 2 , x, z 2 ], C is the curve of intersection of the plane y + z = 2 and the
    cylinder x2 + y 2 = 1. (Orient C to be counterclockwise when viewed from above.)

    Ans:- π

    3. Evaluate the surface integral using Stoke’s theorem


    ZZ
    curl(F ) · dS
    S

    where F = [y, −x, yx3 ] and S is the upper hemisphere of radius 4 and the upwards orientation.
