17. Vector Calculus with Applications
17.1 INTRODUCTION
In vector calculus, we deal with two types of functions: Scalar Functions (or Scalar Field) and
Vector Functions (or Vector Field).
Scalar Point Function
A scalar function ð¹(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§)defined over some region R of space is a function which associates, to
each point ð(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§)in R, a scalar value ð¹ ð = ð¹(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§). And the set of all scalars ð¹(ð)for all
values of P in R is called the scalar field over R.
Precisely, we can say that scalar function defines a scalar field in a region or on a space or a curve.
Examples are the temperature field in a body, pressure field in the air in earthâs atmosphere.
Moreover, if the position vector of the point P is ð , then we may also write the scalar field as
ð¹ ð = ð¹(ð ). This notation emphasizes the fact that the scalar value ð¹(ð ) is associated with the
position vector ð in the region R.
E.g. 1) The distance ð¹ ð of any point ð(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) from a fixed point ðâ²(ð¥ â², ðŠâ², ð§â²) in the space is a
scalar function whose domain of definition is the whole space and is given by
ð¹ ð = (ð¥ â ð¥ â²)2 + (ðŠ â ðŠ â²)2 + (ð§ â ð§ â²)2. Also ð¹ ð defines a scalar field in space.
E.g. 2) The function ð¹ ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¥ðŠ2 + ðŠð§ + ð¥2 for the point (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) inside the unit sphere
ð¥2 + ðŠ2 + ð§2 = 1 is a scalar function and also is defines a scalar field throughout the sphere.
Note: In the physical problems, the scalar function F depends on time variable t in addition to the
point P and then we write it as ð¹ ð, ð¡ = ð¹ ð , ð¡ = ð¹(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§, ð¡) . The example of such a time
dependent scalar function is the temperature distribution throughout a block of metal heated in such
a way that its temperature varies with time.
Vector Point Function
A vector functions ð¹ ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ defined over some region R of space is a function which associates, to
each point ð(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) in R, a vector value ð¹ ð = ð¹ (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) and the set of all vectors ð¹ ð for all
points P in R is called the vector field over R
Moreover, if the position vector of the point P is ð , then we may write the vector field as
ð¹ ð = ð¹ (ð ). This notation emphasizes the fact that the vector value ð¹ (ð ) is associated with the
position vector ð in the region R. Also the general form (component form) of the vector function is
ð¹ ð = ð¹1 ð ð + ð¹2 ð ð + ð¹3 ð ð , where the components ð¹1 ð , ð¹2 ð and ð¹3 ð are the scalar
functions.
E.g. 1) The function ð¹ ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = 2ð¥ðŠð + sin ð¥ ð + 3ð§2ð for point P( x, y, z ) inside an ellipsoid
ð¥2

ðŠ2
16+
ð§2
4 = 1 is a vector function and defines a vector field throughout the ellipsoid.
E.g. 2) The force field given by ð¹ ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¥ð + 2ðŠð + ð§2ð is a vector field.

Note: Like the time dependent scalar field, time dependent vector field also exists. Such a field depends on
time variable t in addition to the point in the region R and may be expressed as
ð¹ ð , ð¡ = ð¹1 ð , ð¡ ð + ð¹2 ð , ð¡ ð + ð¹3 ð , ð¡ ð , where ð¹1 , ð¹2 and ð¹3 are scalar functions. An example of time
dependent vector field is the fluid velocity vector in the unsteady flow of water around a bridge support
column, because this velocity depends on the position vector ð in the water and the time variable t and is
given as ð (ð , ð¡).
Vector Function of Single Variable
A vector function ð¹ of single variable t is a function which assigns a vector value ð¹ (ð¡) to each
scalar value t in interval ð †ð¡ †ð . In the component form, it may be written as
ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹1 ð¡ ð + ð¹2 ð¡ ð + ð¹3 ð¡ ð where ð¹1, ð¹2 and ð¹3 are called components and are scalar functions
of the same single variable t.
For example, the functions given byð¹ ð¡ = ð¡ ð + sin(ð¡ â 2) ð + cos 3ð¡ ð and ðº ð¡ = ð¡2ð + ðð¡ð + log ð¡ ð
are vector functions of a single variable t.
Limit of a Vector Function of Single Variable
A vector function ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹1 ð¡ ð + ð¹2 ð¡ ð + ð¹3(ð¡)ð of single variable t is said to have a limit
ð¿ = ð¿1ð +ð¿2ð +ð¿3ð as ð¡ â ð¡0 , if ð¹ ð¡ is defined in the neighborhood of t0 and Ltð¡âð¡0 ð¹ ð¡ â ð¿ = 0
or Ltð¡âð¡0
ð¹1 ð¡ â ð¿1 = Ltð¡âð¡0 ð¹2 ð¡ â ð¿2 = Ltð¡âð¡0
ð¹3 ð¡ â ð¿3 = 0, then we write it as Ltð¡âð¡0ð¹ (ð¡) = ð¿ .
Continuity of a Vector Function of Single Variable
A vector function ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹1 ð¡ ð + ð¹2 ð¡ ð + ð¹3(ð¡)ð of a single variable t is said to be continuous at
t = t0, if it is defined in some neighborhood of t0 and Ltð¡âð¡0ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹ ð¡0 .
Moreover, ð¹ ð¡ is said to be continuous at ð¡ = ð¡0 if and only if its three components F1, F2 and F3
are continuous as ð¡ = ð¡0.

17.2 DIFFERENTIATION OF VECTORES
Differentiability of a Vector Function of Single Variable
A vector function ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹1 ð¡ ð + ð¹2 ð¡ ð + ð¹3(ð¡)ð of a single variable t defined over the interval
ð †ð¡ †ð is said to be differentiable at t = t0 if the following limit exists.
Ltð¡âð¡0
ð¹ ð¡ âð¹ (ð¡0)
ð¡âð¡0 = ð¹ â²(ð¡0)
And ð¹ â²(ð¡0) is called the derivative of ð¹ ð¡ at t = t0.
Also ð¹ ð¡ is said to be differentiable over the interval ð †ð¡ †ð, if it is differentiable at each of the
points of the interval. In component form, ð¹ ð¡ is said to be differentiable at t = t0 if and only if its
three components are differentiable at t = t0. In general, the derivative of ð¹ (ð¡) is given by

ð¹ â² ð¡ = Ltð¡âð¡0

(ii) If ð¹ (ð¡) has a constant (fixed) direction, then ð¹ Ã ðð¹

Let ð¹ ð¡ = ð(ð¡)ðº (ð¡), where ðº (ð¡) is a unit vector in the direction of ð¹ (ð¡).

Theorem 1: Derivative of a constant vector is a zero vector. A vector is said to be constant if
both its magnitude and direction are constant (fixed).
Proof: Let ð = ð be a constant vector, then ð + ð¿ð = ð .
On subtraction, ð¿ð = 0 .Which further implies that ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ = 0 .

Implying,ð¿ð¡
ð¿ð¡ â 0 ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ = 0 i.e.
ðð
ðð¡ = 0 .
Theorem 2: The necessary and sufficient condition for the vector function ð of a single
variable t to have constant magnitude is ð â ð ð
ð ð = ð.
Proof:
Necessary condition: Suppose ð¹ has constant magnitude, so ð¹ ð¡ â ð¹ ð¡ = ð¹ (ð¡) 2
= ðððð ð¡ððð¡.
=> ð
ðð¡ ð¹ â ð¹ = 0 i.e. ð¹ â
ðð¹
ðð¡ +
ðð¹
ðð¡ â ð¹ = 0
=> 2ð¹ â ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0 i.e. ð¹ â
ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0.
Sufficient condition: Suppose ð¹ â ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0 => 2ð¹ â
ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0
=> ð¹ â ðð¹
ðð¡ +
ðð¹
ðð¡ â ð¹ = 0 =>
ð
ðð¡ ð¹ â ð¹ = 0
=> ð¹ â ð¹ = ðððð ð¡ððð¡ => ð¹ 2
= ðððð ð¡ððð¡
Therefore ð¹ has a constant magnitude.
Theorem 3: The necessary and sufficient condition for the vector function ð of a single
variable t to have a constant direction is ð Ã ð ð
ð ð = ð .
Proof: Suppose that ð is a unit vector in the direction of ð¹ and ð¹ = ð¹ , then ð = ð¹
ð¹ i.e.
ð¹ = ð¹ð ⊠(1)
And ðð¹
ðð¡ = ð¹
ðð
ðð¡+
ðð¹
ðð¡ ð ⊠(2)
Thus ð¹ Ã ðð¹
ðð¡ = ð¹ð à (ð¹
ðð
ðð¡+
ðð¹
ðð¡ ð ) (using (1) and (2))
= ð¹2ð Ã ðð
ðð¡ +ð¹
ðð¹
ðð¡ (ð Ã ð )
= ð¹2ð Ã ðð
ðð¡ (since ð à ð = 0 ) ⊠(3)
Necessary condition: Suppose ð¹ has a constant direction, then ð has a constant direction and
constant magnitude. So ðð
ðð¡ = 0 . Thus from (3), ð¹ Ã
ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0 .
Sufficient condition : Suppose that ð¹ Ã ðð¹
ðð¡ = 0 .
Then by (3), ð¹2ð Ã ðð
ðð¡ = 0 i.e. ð Ã
ðð
ðð¡ = 0 ⊠(4)
Since ð has a constant magnitude, so, by theorem 2, ð â ðð
ðð¡ = 0 ⊠(5)
Form (4) and (5), ðð
ðð¡ = 0.
Which implies ð is a constant vector i.e. ð has a constant direction. Hence ð¹ has a constant
direction.
Example 1: Show that if ð = ð ð¬ð¢ð§ðð + ð ððšð¬ ðð where ð , ð and ð are constants, then

ð ðð
ð ðð = âððð and ð Ã
ð ð
ð ð = âð(ð Ã ð) .
Solution: Given ð = ð sin ðð¡ + ð cos ðð¡
Differentiating w. r. to t, ðð
ðð¡ = ð ð cos ðð¡ â ð ð sin ðð¡
Again differentiating w. r. to t, ð2ð
ðð¡ 2 = âð ð2 sin ðð¡ â ð ð2 cos ðð¡
= â ð2 ð sin ðð¡ + ð cos ðð¡ = âð2ð
Also ð Ã ðð
ðð¡ = ð sin ðð¡ + ð cos ðð¡ Ã (ð ð cos ðð¡ â ð ð sin ðð¡)

= â ð Ã ð ð(cos2 ðð¡ + sin2 ðð¡) (since ð Ã ð = ð Ã ð = 0 )
= â ð Ã ð ð = âð(ð Ã ð ).
Example 2: If ð = ðððð ð â ðððð ð + ððð ð and ð = ðð ð + ð ð â ðð ð , find ðð
ðððð ð Ã ð at
(1, 0, -2).
Solution: Here ð à ð = ð¥2ðŠð§ ð â 2ð¥ð§3 ð + ð¥ð§2 ð à 2ð§ ð + ðŠ ð â ð¥2 ð
= ð¥2ðŠ2ð§ ð + ð¥4ðŠð§ ð + 4ð¥ð§4 ð + 2ð¥3ð§3 ð + 2ð¥ð§3 ð â ð¥ðŠð§2 ð
(âµ ð Ã ð = ð Ã ð = ð Ã ð = 0 ððð ð Ã ð = ð , ð Ã ð = âð ðð¡ð.)

7.3 CURVES IN SPACE
1. Tangent Vector:
Let ð ð¡ = ð¥ ð¡ ð + ðŠ ð¡ ð + ð§(ð¡)ð be the position vector
of a point P. Then for different values of the scalar
parameter t, point P traces the curve in space (Fig.
17.1). For neighboring point Q with position vector
ð (ð¡ + ð¿ð¡) , ð¿ð = ð ð¡ + ð¿ð¡ â ð ð¡ implying ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡=
ð ð¡+ð¿ð¡ âð (ð¡)
ð¿ð¡ is directed along the chord PQ.
As ð¿ð¡ â 0, ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ becomes the tangent to the space curve
at P provided there exists a non zero limit.
Thus a vector ðð
ðð¡= ð â² is a tangent to the space curve ð = ð¹ (ð¡).
Let P0 be a fixed point on the space curve corresponding to t=t0, and the arc length ð0ð = ð , then
ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡=
ð¿ð
ð¿ð
ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡=
ððð ðð
ððððð ðð ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ . ⊠(1)
As ð â ð along the curve QP, i.e. ð¿ð¡ â 0, then the ððð ðð
ððððð ðð â 1 and
ðð
ðð¡=
ðð
ðð¡ = ð â²(ð¡) ⊠(2)
7
If ðð
ðð¡ is continuous, then ð =
ðð
ðð¡ ðð¡
ð¡
ð¡0 = ð¥â² 2+ ðŠâ² 2+ ð§â² 2ðð¡
ð¡
ð¡0 ⊠(3)
Further, if we take s as the parameter in place of t, then the magnitude of the tangent vector i.e.
ðð
ðð = 1. Thus denoting the unit tangent vector by ð , we have ð =
ðð
ðð âŠ(4)
Example 5: Find the unit tangent vector at any point on the curve ð = ðð + ð, ð = ðð â ð,
ð = ððð â ðð where t is variable. Also determine the unit tangent vector at t = 2.
Solution: Let ð be the position vector of any point ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ on the given curve,
then ð = ð¥ð + ðŠð + ð§ð
⎠ð = ð¡2 + 2 ð + 4ð¡ â 5 ð + 2ð¡2 â 6ð¡ ð
The vector tangent to the curve at any point ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ is ðð
ðð¡ = 2ð¡ ð + 4 ð + 4ð¡ â 6 ð
Now ðð
ðð¡ = 2ð¡ 2 + 4 2 + 4ð¡ â 6 2 = 2 5ð¡2 â 12ð¡ + 13
Therefore unit tangent vector at ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ =ðð
ðð¡ ðð
ðð¡ =
2ð¡ ð + 4 ð + 4ð¡â6 ð
2 5ð¡2â12ð¡+13
And the unit tangent vector at t = 2 is ðð
ðð¡ ðð
ðð¡
ð¡=2 =
2ð¡ ð + 4 ð + 4ð¡â6 ð
2 5ð¡2â12ð¡+13 ð¡ = 2
=2ð +2ð +ð
3.
2. Principal Normal: Since ð is a unit vector, so ðð
ðð â ð = 0 i.e. either
ðð
ðð is perpendicular to ð or
ðð
ðð = 0, in which case ð is a constant vector w.r.t. the arc length s and so has a fixed direction i.e.
the curve is a straight line. Now, if we denote the unit normal vector to the curve at P by ð , then ðð
ðð
is in the direction of ð which is known as the principal normal to the curve at P. The plane of ð
and ð is called osculating plane of the curve at P.
3. Binormal: A unit vector ðµ = ð Ã ð is called the binormal at P. As ð and ð both are unit vectors,
so ðµ is also a unit vector normal to both ð and ð
i.e. to the osculating plane of ð and ð .
Thus at each point P on the curve C, there are
three mutually perpendicular unit vectors ð , ð
and ðµ , which form a moving trihedral such that
ðµ = ð à ð , ð = ðµ à ð , ð = ð à ðµ . ⊠(1)
This moving trihedral determines three
fundamental planes at each point of the curve C.
(i) The osculating plane of ð and ð .
(ii) The normal plane of ð and ðµ .
(iii) The rectifying plane of ðµ and ð .
4. Curvture: The arc rate of turning of the tangent viz. ðð
ðð is called the curvature of the curve
and is denoted by . As ðð
ðð is in the direction of the principal normal ð , therefore
ðð
ðð = ð ⊠(2)
8
5. Torsion: As the binormal ðµ is a unit vector, so ððµ
ðð â ðµ = 0. Also ðµ â ð = 0, therefore
ððµ
ðð â ð + ðµ â
ðð
ðð = 0 or
ððµ
ðð â ð + ðµ â ð = 0 or
ððµ
ðð â ð = 0. Hence,
ððµ
ðð is perpendicular to both ðµ and ð and
is, therefore, parallel to ð . The arc rate of turning of the binormal viz. ððµ
ðð is called torsion of the
curve and is denoted by ð. So, we can write it as
ððµ
ðð = âðð (the negative sign indicates that for ð > 0,
ððµ
ðð has a direction of âð ) âŠ(3)
Further, we know that ð = ðµ Ã ð , which on differentiation gives ,
ðð
ðð =
ððµ
ðð Ã ð + ðµ Ã
ðð
ðð = âðð Ã ð + ðµ Ã ð
ðð
ðð = ððµ â ð (using (1)) ⊠(4)
The relations in (1), (2) and (3) constitutes the well known Frenet Formulas for the curve C.
Observations:
(i) ð =1
is called the radius of curvature.
(ii) ð =1
ð is called the radius of torsion.
(iii) ð = 0 for a plane curve.
Example 6: Find ðµ (ð) and ðµ (ð) for the curve represented by ð ð = ðð ð + ðððð .
Solution: For given ð ð¡ , we have ð â² ð¡ = 3ð + 4ð¡ð and ð â² ð¡ = 9 + 16ð¡2
Which implies that the unit tangent vector ð ð¡ = ð â² ð¡
ð â² ð¡ =
3ð +4ð¡ð
9+16ð¡2 ⊠(1)
Differentiating ð ð¡ w. r. to t, ð â² ð¡ = 1
9+16ð¡2 4ð â
16ð¡
9+16ð¡2 32
(3ð + 4ð¡ð ) = 12(â4ð¡ð +3ð )
9+16ð¡2 3/2 âŠ(2)
And ð â² ð¡ = 12 9+16ð¡2
9+16ð¡2 3=
12
9+16ð¡2 ⊠(3)
Therefore, the principal unit normal vector is ð ð¡ = ð â²(ð¡)
ð â²(ð¡) =
â4ð¡ð +3ð
9+16ð¡2 ⊠(4)
But at ð¡ = 1, the principal unit normal vector is ð 1 = 1
5 (â4ð + 3ð ).
Example 7: Find the angle between the tangents to the curve ð = ðð ð + ðð ð â ðð ð at the point
t = ± 1.
Solution: Differentiating the given curve w. r. to t, we get
ðð
ðð¡ = 2ð¡ ð + 2 ð â 3ð¡2 ð which is the tangent vector to the curve at any point t.
Let ð1 & ð2
are the tangent vectors to the curve at t = 1 and t = -1 respectively, then
ð1 = 2 ð + 2 ð â 3 ð and ð2
= â2 ð + 2 ð â 3 ð
Let ð be the angle between the tangents ð1 & ð2
, then
ð¶ðð ð = ð1 â ð2

Example 8: Find the curvature and torsion of the curve ð = ð ððð ð, ð = ð ððð ð, ð = ðð. (This curve is drawn on a circular cylinder cutting its generators at a constant angle and is known as a circular helix)
Solution: Equation of the given curve in vector form is

ð2+ð2 is the curvature of the given curve.
Also, the unit normal vector is ð = â(cos ð¡ ð + sin ð¡ ð ) and ðµ = ð Ã ð = (b sin ð¡ ð âð cos ð¡ð +ðð )
ð2+ð2
So ððµ
ðð =

ðð ðð¡ =
ð(cos ð¡ ð +sin ð¡ ð)
ð2+ð2 = âðð = ð(cos ð¡ ð + sin ð¡ ð )
Hence ð = ð

Also, the unit normal vector is ð = â(cos ð¡ ð + sin ð¡ ð ) and

So ððµ
ðð =

ðð ðð¡ = 0 = âðð = ð(cos ð¡ ð + sin ð¡ ð )
10
Hence ð = 0 is the torsion of the given curve and is constant.
Example 10: Show that for the curve ð = ð ðð â ðð ð + ðððð ð + ð(ðð + ðð)ð , the curvature

Solution: Given curve is ð = ð 3ð¡ â ð¡3 ð + 3ðð¡2 ð + ð(3ð¡ + ð¡3)ð
Differentiating w. r. to t, ðð
ðð¡= ð 3 â 3ð¡2 ð + 6ðð¡ ð + ð 3 + 3ð¡2 ð

17.4 VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION
1. Velocity: Let the position of particle P at a time t on the curve C is ð ð¡ and it comes to point Q
at time ð¡ + ð¿ð¡ having position ð ð¡ + ð¿ð¡ , then ð¿ð = ð ð¡ + ð¿ð¡ â ð ð¡ i.e. ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ is directed along PQ.
As ð â ð along C, the line PQ becomes tangent at P to the curve C.
So ð£ ð¡ = ðð
ðð¡ = Ltð¿ð¡â0
ð¿ð
ð¿ð¡ is the tangent vector to C at point P which is the velocity vector ð£ (ð¡) of
the motion and its magnitude gives the speed ð£ = ðð
ðð¡, where s is the arc length of P from a fixed
point P0 (s=0) on C.
2. Acceleration: Acceleration vector ð ð¡ of a particle is the derivative of the velocity vector ð£ (ð¡),
and it is given by ð ð¡ = ðð£
ðð¡=
ð2ð
ðð¡2 . It is an interesting fact that the magnitude of acceleration is not
always the rate of change of ð£ = ð£ , as ð ð¡ is not always tangential to the curve C. There are two
components of acceleration, which are given as: (i) Tangential Acceleration (ii) Normal
Acceleration
Observation: The acceleration is the time rate of change of ð£ ð¡ = ðð
ðð¡, if and only if the normal acceleration
is zero, for then ð = ð2ð
ðð¡2 ðð
ðð =
ð2ð
ðð¡2 .
3. Relative Velocity and Acceleration: Let two particles P and
Q moving along the curves C1 and C2 have position vectors ð1 (ð¡)
and ð2 (ð¡) at time t, so that ð ð¡ = ðð = ð2 ð¡ â ð1 (ð¡)
Differentiating w. r. to t, ðð
ðð¡=
ðð 2
ðð¡â
ðð 1
ðð¡ ⊠(1)
This defines the relative velocity of Q w. r. t. P and states that the
velocity of Q relative to P = Velocity vector of Q â Velocity
vector of P.
Again differentiating (1) w. r. to t., we have
ð2ð
ðð¡2=
ð2ð 2
ðð¡2â
ð2ð 1
ðð¡ 2
This defines the relative acceleration of Q w. r. t. and states that Acceleration of Q relative to P =
Acceleration of Q â Acceleration of P.
12
Example 11: Find the tangential and normal acceleration of a particle moving in a plane
curve in Cartesian coordinates.
Solution: Let ð be the position vector the point P, a function of a scalar t. In particular, if the scalar
variable t is taken as an arc length s along the curve C measured from some fixed point, that is,
ð¥ = ð¥ ð , ðŠ = ðŠ ð , ð§ = ð§(ð ) then ð = ð¥ ð ð + ðŠ ð ð + ð§(ð )ð
So that ðð

For two dimension curves we have in calculus

Or ðð¥
ðð
2+
ððŠ
ðð
2+
ðð§
ðð
2= 1
Therefore (2) gives ðð
ðð
2
= 1
That means, ðð
ðð is a unit vector along the tangent and (1) represents a unit tangent vector along the
curve C in space.
Therefore, Velocity ð£ of the particle at any point of the curve is given by
ð£ =ðð
ðð¡= ðð
ðð ðð ðð¡
= ð£ ð ⊠(3)
where ð£ =ðð
ðð¡ and ð =
ðð
ðð is the unit vector along the tangent.
Thus ð£ =ðð
ðð¡ is the tangential component of the velocity and the normal component of the velocity
is zero.
Next, acceleration ð =ðð£
ðð¡= ð(ð£ð)
ðð¡= ðð£

From the adjoining figure, ð = ðð is along the tangent at P to the curve C and ð is the unit vector
along the normal to P.
⎠ð = cos ð ð + sin ð ð and ð = cos ð
2+ ð ð + sin
ð
2+ ð ð = âsin ð ð + cos ð ð
Now ðð
ðð = âsin ð ð + cos ð ð = ð
Therefore, equation (4) becomes ð =ðð£
ðð¡ ð +
ð£2
ðð
Which shows that tangential and normal components of acceleration at the point P are ðð£
ðð¡ and
ð£2
ð .
Since ðð£
ðð¡=

ðð
ðð
ðð¡ = v
ðð£
ðð , so the tangential component of acceleration is also written as v
ðð£
ðð .

Example 12: Find the radial and transverse acceleration of a particle moving in a plane curve
in Polar coordinates.
Solution: Let the position vector of a moving particle ð(ð, ð) be ð so that
ð = ð ð = ð (cos ð ð + sin ð ð ) at any time t.
Then the velocity of the particle is ð£ = ðð
ðð¡=
ðð
ðð¡ ð + ð
ðð
ðð¡
As ð = (cos ð ð + sin ð ð ) so ðð
ðð¡= (âsinð ð + cos ð ð )
ðð
ðð¡
Therefore, ðð
ðð¡ is perpendicular to ð and
ðð
ðð¡ =
ðð
ðð¡ i.e. if ð¢
is a unit vector perpendicular to ð , then ðð
ðð¡=
ðð
ðð¡ ð¢
And thus, ð£ = ðð
ðð¡=

ðð¡ ð + ð
ðð

So the radial and transverse components of the velocity are ðð

Example 13: A particle moves along the curve ð = ðð â ðð ð + ðð + ðð ð + ððð â ððð ð
where t denotes the time. Find the magnitudes of acceleration along the tangent and normal at
time t = 2.
Solution: The velocity of the particle is ð£ = ðð
ðð¡ = 3ð¡2 â 4 ð + 2ð¡ + 4 ð + 16ð¡ â 9ð¡2 ð
And the acceleration is ð = ð2ð
ðð¡ 2 = 6ð¡ ð + 2 ð + 16 â 18ð¡ ð
At t = 2, ð£ = 8 ð + 8 ð â 4 ð and ð = 12 ð + 2 ð â 20 ð
Since the velocity vector is also the tangent vector to the curve, so the magnitude of acceleration
along the tangent at t = 2 is = ð â ð£
ð£ = 12 ð + 2 ð â 20 ð â
8 ð +8 ð â4 ð

Example 14: A person going east wards with a velocity of 4 km per hour, finds that the wind
appears to blow directly from the north. He doubles his speed and the wind seems to come
from north-east. Find the actual velocity of the wind.
14
Solution: Let the actual velocity of the wind is ð£ = ð¥ð + ðŠð , where ð and ð represent velocities of 1
km per hour towards the east and north respectively. As the person is going eastwards with a
velocity of 4 km per hour, his actual velocity is 4ð .
Then the velocity of the wind relative to the man is ð¥ð + ðŠð â 4ð , which is parallel to âð , as it
appears to blow from the north. Hence x = 4.
When the velocity of the person becomes 8ð , the velocity of the wind relative to a man is ð¥ð + ðŠð â
8ð . But this is parallel to â ð + ð .
⎠ð¥â8
ðŠ = 1 which gives ðŠ = â4 (using (1))
Hence the actual velocity of the wind is 4ð â 4ð i.e. 4 2 km per hour towards south east.
Example 15: A particle moves along the curve ð = ðð + ð, ð = ðð, ð = ðð + ð where t is the
time. Find the components of velocity and acceleration at t = 1in the direction of the vector
ð + ð + ðð .
Solution: Let ð be the position vector of the particle at any time t,
then ð = ð¡3 + 1 ð + ð¡2 ð + 2ð¡ + 3 ð
So the velocity is ð£ = ðð
ðð¡ = 3ð¡2 ð + 2ð¡ ð + 2 ð
And the acceleration is ð = ð2ð
ðð¡ 2 = 6ð¡ ð + 2 ð + 0 ð
At t =1, ð£ = 3 ð + 2 ð + 2 ð and ð = 6 ð + 2 ð + 0 ð
Also the unit vector in the direction of the given vector ð + ð + 3ð is = ð +ð +3ð
ð +ð +3ð =
ð +ð +3ð

Now the component of velocity at t = 1, in the direction of the vector ð + ð + 3ð =

11 = 11
And the component of acceleration at t = 1, in the direction of the vector ð + ð + 3ð =

17.5 DEL APPLIED TO SCALAR POINT FUNCTIONS: GRADIENT [KUK 2009]
Del Operator: Del operator is a vector differential operator and is written as
ð = ð ð

Gradient of a Scalar Function: Let â (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) be a scalar function of three variables defined over a
region R of space. Then gradient of is a vector function defined as
â = ð ðâ
ðð¥+ ð
ðâ
ððŠ+ ð
ðâ
ðð§,
wherever the partial derivatives exists. It may also be denoted as ðððð(â ). The del operator is also
called the gradient operator.
Level Surface: Let â (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) be a scalar valued function and C is a constant. The surface given by
â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¶ through a point ð(ð ) is such that at each point on it the function has same value, is
called the level surface of â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ through P, e.g. equi-potential or isothermal surfaces.
In other words, locus of the point ð(ð ) satisfying â ð = ð¶ form a surface through P. This surface is
called the level surface through P.
Gradient as Normal or Geometrical Interpretation of Gradient
16
Let â ð = â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ is a scalar function where ð = ð¥ð + ðŠð + ð§ð . And â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¶ is the level
surface of â through ð(ð ). Let ð(ð + ð¿ð ) be a point on neighboring level surface â + ð¿â , then
ðâ â ÎŽr = ð ðâ
ðð¥+ ð
ðâ
ððŠ+ ð
ðâ
ðð§ â ð¿ð¥ð + ð¿ðŠð + ð¿ð§ð
= ðâ
ðð¥ ð¿ð¥ +
ðâ
ððŠ ð¿ðŠ +
ðâ
ðð§ ð¿ð§ = ð¿â ⊠(1)
Now if P and Q lie on same level surface i.e. â & â + ð¿â are
same, then ð¿â = 0.
Implies ðâ â ÎŽr = 0 (using (1))
Therefore, ðâ is perpendicular (normal) to every ÎŽr lying on
this surface.
Hence, ðâ is normal to the surface â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¶ and we can write ðâ = ðâ n , where ð is unit
normal vector to the surface.
See the Fig. 17.7, if the perpendicular distance PM between the surfaces through P and Q be ð¿ð, then
rate of change of â along the normal to the surface through P is
ðâ
ðð= ð¿ð¡ð¿ðâ0
ð¿â
ð¿ð = ð¿ð¡ð¿ðâ0
ðâ âÎŽr
ð¿ð (using (1))
= Ltð¿ðâ0 ðâ n âÎŽr
ð¿ð = ðâ Ltð¿ðâ0
n âÎŽr
ð¿ð ⊠(2)
= ðâ Ltð¿ðâ0ÎŽn
ð¿ð = ðâ (ðŽð ð â ð¿ð = ð¿ð cos ð = ð¿ð)
Hence the magnitude of ðâ i.e. ðâ = ðâ
ðð ⊠(3)
Thus ðððð â is normal vector to the level surface â ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = ð¶ and its magnitude represents the rate
of change of â along this normal.
Directional Derivative: If ð¿ð denotes the length PQ and ð be the unit vector in the direction of PQ,
the limiting value of ð¿ð
ð¿ð as ð¿ð â 0 (i.e.
ðð
ðð) is known as the directional derivative of f along the
direction PQ.
Since ð¿ð =ð¿ð
cos ðŒ=
ð¿ð
ð âð¢ , therefore
ðð
ðð= Ltð¿ðâ0 ð â ð¢
ð¿ð
ð¿ð = ð¢ â
ð¿ð
ð¿ð ð = ð¢ â ðð
Thus the directional derivative of f in the direction of ð¢ is the resolved part of ðð in the direction of ð¢ .
Since ðð â ð¢ = ðð cos ðŒ †ðð
It follows that ðð gives the maximum rate of change of f.
Properties of Gradient Operator: Let â (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) & Ï(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) are two differentiable scalar functions
defined over some region R. then the gradient operator has following properties:
17

Hence ðððð ð¶â = ð¶ ðððð(â ).

Solution: Consider â ð ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = â ð¥2ðŠ2ð§2 = 2ð¥ðŠ2ð§2 ð + 2ðŠð¥2ð§2 ð + 2ð§ð¥2ðŠ2 ð
At (1, 1, -1), â ð ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ = 2 ð + 2 ð â 2 ð
Now ð = ð¥ð + ðŠð + ð§ð = ðð¡ ð + 2 sin ð¡ + 1 ð + (ð¡ â cos ð¡)ð
So tangent to the curve is ðð
ðð¡ = ðð¡ ð + 2 cos ð¡ ð + (1 + sin ð¡)ð
At t = 0, ðð
ðð¡ = ð + 2ð + ð
And the unit tangent vector is ðð

At (1, 1, 1), â â = 2ð + ð ð + ð + 2ð ð + (ð + 2ð)ð
We know that directional derivative of â is maximum in the direction of its normal vector â â , but it
is given to be maximum in the direction of the line ð¥â1

Therefore, the line and normal vector are parallel to each other, which results as:

Taking first two members of (1), 3ð + 2ð + ð = 0

Also given that maximum magnitude of directional derivative is 15 units i.e. ââ = 15
So , 2ð + ð 2 + ð + 2ð 2 + ð + 2ð 2 = 15 2 âŠ(3)
Putting the values of a, b and c from (2),
22
8ð + 10ð 2 + 4ð â 22ð 2 + â11ð + 20ð 2 = 15 2 => ð = ± 5

= 96 ð + 288 ð â 288 ð
Also ð = 96 2 + 288 2 + â288 2 = 96 19
So the directional derivative of given surface will be maximum in the direction of
96 ð + 288 ð â 288 ð and the magnitude of this maximum is 96 19.
Example 25: Find the angle between the surfaces ðð + ðð + ðð = ð and ð = ðð + ðð â ð at

Let ð be the angle between the given surfaces at point (2, -1, 2), then ð will also be an angle between

Example 26: Find the constants a and b so that the surface ððð â ððð = ð + ð ð is orthogonal

ð = ðð¥2 â ððŠð§ â ð + 2 ð¥ = 0 ⊠(1)
and ð = 4ð¥2ðŠ + ð§3 â 4 = 0 âŠ(2)

Consider âð = ð ðð

So, ð1 = âð (1, â1, 2) = ð ð â 2 + ð â2ð + ð ð = ð â 2 ð â 2ðð + ðð
ð2 = âð (1, â1, 2) = ð â8 + ð 4 + ð 12 = â8ð + 4ð + 12ð
Given that surfaces (1) and (2) cut orthogonally at (1, -1, 2), so their normal vectors i.e. ð1 and ð2
should also be orthogonal to each other.
Therefore, ð1 . ð2 = 0
=> ð â 2 ð â 2ðð + ðð . â8ð + 4ð + 12ð = 0
=> â8 ð â 2 â 8ð + 12ð = 0
=> 2ð â ð = 4 ⊠(5)
Also the point (1, -2, 1) lies on the surface (1), so we have

vector point function. Divergence ð (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) of is a scalar which is denoted by â â ð and is defined as

Physical interpretation of Divergence
Consider the case of fluid flow.
Let ð£ = ð£ð¥ ð + ð£ðŠ ð + ð£ð§ð be the velocity of the fluid at a
point ð(ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) . Consider a small parallelopiped with
edges ð¿ð¥, ð¿ðŠ and ð¿ð§ parallel to the x, y and z axis
25
respectively in the mass of fluid, with one of its corner at point ð.
So, the mass of fluid flowing in through the face ððð ð per unit time = ð£ðŠ ð¿ð§ ð¿ð¥
and the mass of fluid flowing out of the face ðâ²ðâ²ð â²ðâ² per unit time
= ð£ðŠ+ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§ ð¿ð¥ = ð£ðŠ +ðð£ðŠ
ððŠ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§ ð¿ð¥
⎠The net decrease in fluid mass in the parallelopiped corresponding to flow along y-axis
= ð£ðŠ +ðð£ðŠ
ððŠ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§ ð¿ð¥ â ð£ðŠ ð¿ð§ ð¿ð¥ =
ðð£ðŠ
ððŠ ð¿ð¥ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§
Similarly, the net decrease in fluid mass in the parallelopiped corresponding to the flow along x-axis
and z-axis is ðð£ð¥
ðð¥ ð¿ð¥ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§ and
ðð£ð§
ðð§ ð¿ð¥ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§ respectively.
So, total decrease in mass of fluid mass in the parallelopiped per unit time
= ðð£ð¥
ðð¥+
ðð£ðŠ
ððŠ+
ðð£ð§
ðð§ ð¿ð¥ ð¿ðŠ ð¿ð§
Thus, the rate of loss of fluid per unit volume =ðð£ð¥

= ð ð
ðð¥+ ð
ð
ððŠ+ ð
ð
ðð§ â ð£ð¥ ð + ð£ðŠ ð + ð£ð§ð
= â â ð£ = ððð£ ð£
Hence, ððð£ ð£ gives the rate at which fluid is originating or diminishing at a point per unit volume.
If the fluid is incompressible, there can be no loss or gain in the volume element i.e. ððð£ ð£ = 0.
Observations:
(i) if ð£ represent the electric flux, then ððð£ ð£ is the amount of flux which diverges per unit volume in unit
time.
(ii) if ð£ represent the heat flux, then ððð£ ð£ is the rate at which the heat is issuing from a point per unit
volume.
(iii) If the flux entering any element of space is the same as that leaving it i.e.ððð£ ð£ = 0 everywhere, then
such a vector point function is called Solenoidal.

Physical Interpretation of Curl
Consider the motion of a rigid body rotating with
angular velocity ð about an axis OA, where O is a
fixed point in the body. Let ð be the position vector of
any point P of the body. The point P describing a circle
whose center is M and radius is PM = ð sin ð where ð is
the angle between ð and ð , then the velocity of P is
ðð sin ð. This velocity is normal to the plane POM i.e.
normal to the plane of ð and ð .
So, if ð£ is the linear velocity of P, then ð£ =
ð ð sin ð ð = ð Ã ð

Now, if ð = ð1 ð + ð2 ð + ð3ð and ð = ð¥ ð + ðŠ ð + ð§ ð , then

Hence ð =1

Thus the angular velocity of rotation at any point is equal to half the curl of the velocity vector.
Observations:
(i) The curl of a vector point function gives the measure of the angular velocity at a point.
(ii) If the curl of a vector point function becomes zero i.e. â Ã ð = 0, then ð is called an irrotational
vector.

17.8 DEL APPLIED TWICE TO POINT FUNCTIONS

As given the vector ðð ð is solenoidal, so ððð£ ðð ð = 0
So using (4), ð + 3 ðð = 0 implies that ð = â3 (since ð â 0)
Example 38: If ð and ð are irrotational, prove that ð Ã ð is solenoidal.

Thus ð Ã ð is solenoidal.

17.9 INTEGRATION OF VECTORS
If two vector functions ð (ð¡) and ð (ð¡) be such that ð
ðð¡ ð (ð¡) = ð (ð¡), then ð (ð¡) is called an integral
of ð (ð¡) with respect to a scalar variable t and we can write ð (ð¡)ðð¡ = ð (ð¡).
Indefinite Integral
If ð be an arbitrary constant vector and ð ð¡ =ð
ðð¡ ð (ð¡) =
ð
ðð¡ ð ð¡ + ð , then ð (ð¡)ðð¡ = ð ð¡ + ð .
This is called the indefinite integral of ð (ð¡).
Definite Integral
If ð
ðð¡ ð (ð¡) = ð ð¡ for all values of ð¡ in the interval ð, ð , then the definite integral of ð ð¡ between
ð and ð is defined and denoted by ð ð¡ ðð¡ð
ð= ð (ð¡) ð
ð = ð ð â ð ð .
Example 47: If ð ðð
ð ðð= ðð ð â ðððð ð + ð ððšð¬ ð ð , find ð , given that
ð ð
ð ð= â ð â ð ð and
ð = ð ð + ð at ð = ð.
Solution: Given that ð2ð
ðð¡2= 6ð¡ ð â 12ð¡2 ð + 4 cos ð¡ ð ⊠(1)
Integrating (1) with respect to t,
ð2ð
ðð¡2 ðð¡ = 6ð¡ ð â 12ð¡2 ð + 4 cos ð¡ ð ðð¡
Implying ðð
ðð¡ = 3ð¡2 ð â 4ð¡3 ð + 4 sin ð¡ ð + ð 1 ⊠(2)
Now, integrating (2) with respect to t,
ðð
ðð¡ðð¡ = 3ð¡2 ð â 4ð¡3 ð + 4 sin ð¡ ð + ð 1 ðð¡
Implying ð = ð¡3 ð â ð¡4 ð â 4 cos ð¡ ð + ð 1ð¡ + ð 2 ⊠(3)
Also we are given that at ð¡ = 0, ðð
ðð¡= â ð â 3 ð ⊠(4)
ð = 2 ð + ð ⊠(5)
Using (2) and (4), ð 1 = â ð â 3 ð
Using (3) and (5), â4 ð + ð 2 = 2 ð + ð => ð 2 = 2 ð + ð + 4 ð
Putting the values of the constant vectors ð 1 & ð 2 in (3), we get
ð = ð¡3 ð â ð¡4 ð â 4 cos ð¡ ð + â ð â 3 ð ð¡ + 2 ð + ð + 4 ð

If A

line integral represents the work done by the force F

We see that the integral Q

particular path. In case is single valued and the integral is taken round a closed curve, the terminal
points P and Q coincide and PB .
[Because function is uniform]
The integration along a closed curve is denoted by the sign of circle in the mid of the integral sign
i.e. for a uniform function, we have
C
rd 0.)(
⊠(2)
The converse of the above result is also true i.e. if there exists a vector A
and its integral round
every closed curve in the region under consideration vanishes, then there exist a point function
such that gradA
.
To prove this consider any closed curve ABCD such that the integral round it is zero, so integral along
ABC must be equal to that along ADC. Similarly, the integral along ABC must be equal to that along
any curve joining A to C, i.e. independent of the path from A to C with A be a fixed point and C a
variable point. Then due to the fact that line integral is independent of the path chosen, the value of
the line integral from A to C must be a scalar point function, say i.e. C

Now if d is the increment in due to a small displacement ðð of ð , then we have rdAd

Circulation: If A
represents the velocity of a fluid particle, then the line integral CrdA
. is called
the circulation of A
along C.
The vector point function A
, is said to be irrotational in a region, if its circulation along every
closed curve in the region is zero i.e. 0. CrdA
41
Theorem: The necessary and sufficient condition for a vector point function A
to be irrotaional in a
simply connected region is the 0Acurl
at every point of the region.
Work: If A
represents the force acting on a particle moving along an arc PQ then the work done
during the small displacement rd
is equal to rdA
. . Therefore, the total work done by A
during the
displacement from P to Q is given by the line integral Q

17.11 SURFACE INTEGRALS AND FLUX
An integral which is to be evaluated over a surface is called a surface integral. Suppose ð is a surface
of finite area. Divide the area ð into n sub-areas ð¿ð1, ð¿ð2, âŠâŠ , ð¿ðð .
In each area ð¿ðð , choose an arbitrary point ðð ð¥ð , ðŠð , ð§ð . Let ð define
a scalar point function over the area ð.
Now from the sum ð ðð ð¿ðððð=1 , where ð ðð = ð ð¥ð , ðŠð , ð§ð
Now let us take the limit of the sum as ð â â, each sub-area ð¿ðð
reduces to a point and the limit if it exists is called the surface
integral of ð over ð and is denoted by ððð
.
Note: If ð is piecewise smooth then the function ð ð¥, ðŠ, ð§ is continuous over ð and then the limit exists and is
independent of sub-divisions and choice of the point ðð .
Flux: Suppose ð is a piecewise smooth surface so that the vector function ð¹ defined over ð is
continuous over ð. Let ð be any point of the surface ð and suppose ð is a unit vector at ð in the
direction of outward drawn normal to the surface ð at ð. Then the component of ð¹ along ð is ð¹ . ð and
the integral of ð¹ . ð over ð is called the surface integral of ð¹ over ð and is denoted by ð¹ . ð ððð
. It is
also called flux of ð¹ over ð.
Different Forms of Surface Integral
(i) Flux of ð¹ over ð = ð¹ . ð ððð
⊠(1)
46
Now let ðð denote a vector (called vector area) whose magnitude is that of differential of
surface area i.e., ðð and whose direction is that of ð . Then clearly
ðð = ð ðð
From (1), flux of ð¹ over ð = ð¹ . ðð ð
âŠ. (2)
(ii) Suppose outward drawn normal to the surface ð at ð makes angles ðŒ, ðœ, ðŸ with the
positive direction of axes and if ð, ð, ð denote the direction cosines of this outward drawn
normal, then
ð = cos ðŒ , ð = cos ðœ , ð = cos ðŸ
Therefore, ð = cos ðŒ ð + cos ðœ ð + cos ðŸ ð
If ð¹ = ð¹1ð + ð¹2ð + ð¹3ð then ð¹ . ð = ð¹1 cos ðŒ + ð¹2 cos ðœ + ð¹3 cos ðŸ
⎠From (1), flux of ð¹ over ð = ð¹1 cos ðŒ + ð¹2 cos ðœ + ð¹3 cos ðŸ ððð
⊠(3)
Now ðð cos ðŒ is the projection of area ðð on the ðŠð§ plane, therefore ðð cos ðŒ = ððŠðð§.
Similarly ðð cos ðœ and ðð cos ðŸ are the projections of the area ðð on the ð§ð¥ and ð¥ðŠ plane
respectively and therefore ðð cos ðœ = ðð§ðð¥, ðð cos ðŸ = ðð¥ððŠ.
⎠From (3), ð¹ . ð ððð
= ð¹ 1ððŠðð§ + ð¹ 2ðð§ðð¥ + ð¹ 3ðð¥ððŠð
⊠(4)
Note: In order to evaluate surface integral it is convenient to express them as double integrals by
taking the projection of surface ð on one of the coordinate planes. This will happen only if any line
perpendicular to co-ordinate plane chosen meets the surface in one point and not more than one
point. Surface S is divided into sub surfaces, if above requirement is not met, so that sub surfaces
may satisfy the above requirement.
(iii) Suppose surface ð is such that any line
perpendicular to ð¥ðŠ plane does not meet ð in more
than one point. Let the equation of surface ð be
ð = ð(ð¥, ðŠ).
Let ð 1 denotes the orthogonal projection of ð on the
ð¥ðŠ plane. Then projection of ðð on the ð¥ðŠ plane
= ðð cos ðŸ , where ðŸ is the acute angle which the
normal to the surface ð makes with positive
direction of Z-axis.
⎠ðð cos ðŸ = ðð¥ððŠ ⊠(5)
But cos ðŸ = ð .ð
ð = ð . ð
Therefore from (5), ðð =ðð¥ ððŠ
ð .ð ⊠(6)
Thus ð¹ . ð ððð
= ð¹ . ð ð 1
ðð¥ ððŠ
ð .ð ⊠(7)
Similarly we have, ð¹ . ð ððð
= ð¹ . ð ð 2
ððŠ ðð§
ð .ð ⊠(8)
ð¹ . ð ððð
= ð¹ . ð ð 3
ðð§ ðð¥

where ð 2, ð 3 are the projections of ð on ð§ð¥ and ð¥ðŠ planes, respectively.

where ð = ð ð + ð ð + ðððð ð and S is the surface of the

17.12 VOLUME INTEGRALS
Suppose ð is the volume bounded by a surface ð. Divide the volume ð into sub-volumes ð¿ð1, ð¿ð2,
âŠ, ð¿ðð . In each ð¿ðð , choose an arbitrary point ðð whose coordinates are (ð¥ð , ðŠð , ð§ð). Let ð be a single
valued function defined over ð. Form the sum ð ðð ð¿ðð , where ð ðð = ð ð¥ð , ðŠð , ð§ð .
Now let us take the limit of the sum as ð â â, then the limit, if exists, is called the volume integral
of ð over ð and is denoted as ðð
ðð.
Likewise if ð¹ is a vector point function defined in the given region of volume ð then vector volume
integral of ð¹ over ð is ð¹ ð
ðð.
Note: Above volume integral becomes ðð
ðð¥ ððŠ ðð§ if we subdivide the volume ð into small
cuboids by drawing lines parallel to three co-ordinate axes because in that case ðð = ðð¥ððŠðð§.

17.13 STOKEâS THEOREM (Relation between Line and Surface Integral)
Statement: Let S be a piecewise smooth open surface bounded by a piecewise smooth simple curve
ð¶ . If ð (ð¥, ðŠ, ð§) be a continuous vector function which has continuous first partial derivative in a
region of space which contains ð , then ð . ðð ð¶
= ðð¢ðð ð . ð ð¶
ðð , where ð is the unit normal
vector at any point of ð and ð¶ is trasversed in positive direction.
Direction of ð¶ is positive if an observer walking on the boundary of ð in this direction with its head
pointing in the direction of outward normal ð to ð has the surface on the left.
We may put the statement of Stokeâs theorem in words as under:
52
The line integral of the tangential component of a vector ð taken around a simple closed curve ð¶ is
equal to the surface integral of normal component of curl of ð taken over ð having ð¶ as its boundary.
Stokeâs Theorem in Cartesian Form:
a) Cartesian Form of Stokeâs Theorem in Plane (or Greenâs Theorem in Plane)
Choose system of coordinate axes such that the plane of the surface is in ð¥ðŠ plane and normal to the
surface ð lies along the z-axis. Normal vector is constant in this case.

ð.Then
â. ð ð
ðð = ð . ð ðð
where ð is the outward unit normal to the surface ð.
In other words: The surface integral of the normal component of a vector ð taken over a closed
surface is equal to the integral of the divergence of ð over the volume enclosed by the surface.

Proof: Let ð = ð1ð + ð2ð + ð3ð where ð1, ð2 and ð3 and their derivatives in any direction are finite

Suppose ð is a closed surface such that it is possible to
choose rectangular cartesian co-ordinate system such that
any line drawn parallel to coordinate axes does not cut ð

Let ð be the orthogonal projection of ð on the xy-plane.
Any line parallel to z-axis through a point of ð meets the
boundary of S in two points. Let ð1 and ð2 be the lower
