STOKES’ THEOREM &

DIVERGENCE THEOREM

SPECIALITY: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES
INSTRUCTOR: RAKIB EFENDIYEV
What is Stokes’ Theorem?
Imagine that a bird is flying in the sky along the any trajectory in a
windy day. The wind helps the bird to reach its destination when the
bird flies in the direction where the wind blows. On the contrary, when
the bird flies in the opposite direction where the wind blows, unsurprisingly
the wind prevents it from flying. Now, what can be done if one wants to
measure how much helpful or burdensome the wind was during the bird’s
flight?

At this point we introduce a theorem in order to help us to do so. If you


consider the trajectory which was made by our bird as a simple closed curve
(which we’ll call as C later) and the wind as continuously differentiable two-
dimensional vector field (which we’ll call as F later) we would be able to
calculate it somehow.
For a better understanding, that’s our F(P,Q,R),
in other words, a three-dimensional vector field.
Here you see the curve. Note that our boundary curve must
be closed and never cross itself, in other words, « simple ».
Some other information about
the curve:

This integral doesn't make sense until the curve is oriented. There are two
different options that the curve can orient. If the curve runs counterclockwise
that merely means that orientation is positive. If it runs clockwise, then the
curve becomes negative orientation.

Or another way to determine: To get the positive orientation of C think of


yourself as walking along the curve. While you are walking along the curve if
your head is pointing in the same direction as the unit normal vectors while
the surface is on the left then you are walking in the positive direction on C.
You can see an oriented piecewise-smooth surface S here:
It sometimes denotes as
Statement of Stokes’ Theorem:
Let be an oriented piecewise-smooth surface that is bounded by a
simple, closed, piecewise-smooth boundary curve C with positive
orientation. Let F be a vector Field whose components have continuous
partial derivatives on an open region in that contains.
Then,

PARAMETERIZATION:

In order to be able to calculate this integral, we will use the parameterization.

curl(F)=𝜵×𝑭 and 𝛁=<𝝏/𝒅𝒙,𝝏/𝒅𝒚,𝝏/𝐝𝐳>


r = < x(u,v) , y(u,v) , z(u,v) > and dS = | | du dv

= < 𝝏x/𝒅u,𝝏y/𝒅u,𝝏z/𝐝u >


| | du dv n=
= < 𝝏x/𝒅v,𝝏y/𝒅v,𝝏z/𝐝v >

| | du dv = ( )du dv =

Example:
Using stokes theorem, evaluate F = < xz i + yz j + xy k >
such that S is the part of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 4 (i) that lies inside the cylinder
x2 + y2 = 1 (ii) and above the xy-plane.

Subtracting (ii) from (i),


z2 = 3
z = √3 (since z is positive)
Now,
The circle C is will be: x2 + y2 = 1, z = √3
The vector form of C is given by:
r(t)=cost i + sint j + √3 k ; 0 2
PHYSICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

1) If A for any closed path, then A is called


irrotational or conservative field

2) If A denotes the force F then means that total


work done by the force in taking a body round a


closed curve is zero i.e total energy remains
conserved throughout the motion
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:

1)It is used for determining whether a vector field is


conservative or not

2) It allows one to interpret the curl of vector field as


measure of swirling about an axis


What is Divergence Theorem?

The divergence theorem is a mathematical


statement of the physical fact that, in the
absence of the creation or destruction of
matter, the density within a region of space
can change only by having it flow into or away
from the region through its boundary.
Statement of Divergence Theorem:
Let be E a simple solid region and let S be the boundary
surface of E, given with positive (outward) orientation. Let be a vector field
whose component functions have continuous partial derivatives on an open
region that contains . Then
