Vector Field Analysis

Let \( \vec{F}(x, y, z) = 2y\vec{i} - x\vec{j} + 3\vec{k} \). Which of the following statements is true?

  • (i) \( \text{Curl } \vec{F} = \vec{0} \).
  • (ii) \( \vec{F} \) is a gradient of some function \( f \).
  • (iii) Line integrals, \( \int_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} \), over a curve \( C \) from a point \( P \) to a point \( Q \), are path independent.
  • (iv) \( \int_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} = 0 \) for all smooth closed curves \( C \).

Multiple Choice Options

  1. A. (i) only
  2. B. (ii) only
  3. C. (ii) and (iii) only
  4. D. (ii), (iii) and (iv) only
  5. E. None of the above

Handwritten Solution

\[ \vec{F} = \langle 2y, -x, 3 \rangle \]
\[ \text{curl } \vec{F} = \begin{vmatrix} \vec{i} & \vec{j} & \vec{k} \\ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\ 2y & -x & 3 \end{vmatrix} \]
\[ = \langle 0-0, 0-0, -1-2 \rangle = \langle 0, 0, -3 \rangle \]

If \( \vec{F} \) is conservative, then \( \vec{F} = \nabla f \), and \( \text{curl } \vec{F} = \vec{0} \).

Here, \( \vec{F} \) is NOT conservative, so is NOT \( \nabla f \).

Line Integrals and Green's Theorem

Evaluate \(\int_C y dx + \cos y dy\) where \(C\) is the polygonal path from \((0,0)\) to \((1,0)\) to \((1,2)\) to \((0,2)\) to \((0,0)\).

The path \(C\) is a closed rectangle in the \(xy\)-plane, bounded by the vertices mentioned. We can identify the vector field as:

\[ \vec{F} = \langle y, \cos y \rangle = \langle f, g \rangle \]\[ d\vec{r} = \langle dx, dy \rangle \]
Coordinate graph showing a rectangular path C with segments C1 through C4 enclosing region R.

Multiple Choice Options

  • A. \(-1\)
  • B. \(0\)
  • C. \(-2\) (Correct)
  • D. \(-\frac{3}{2}\)
  • E. \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution Methods

There are two ways to solve this:

  1. Parametrize paths \(C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4\) then do \(\int_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r}\).
  2. Use Green's Theorem (since the path is closed).

Green's Theorem:

\[ \oint_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} = \iint_R (g_x - f_y) dA \]

Here, \(g_x - f_y = 0 - 1 = -1\).

\[ \iint_R (-1) dA = (-1) \iint_R dA = (-1) \times (\text{area of } R) \]\[ = (-1)(1)(2) = -2 \]

Alternatively, using iterated integrals:

\[ \text{or } = (-1) \int_0^1 \int_0^2 dy dx \]
