Short Answer

Expert verified
**Question:** Evaluate the line integral \(\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s}\) and the double integral\(\int\int_{R}(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\,\mathrm{d}A\) for the given vector field \(\mathbf{F}=\langle x^{2}+y^{2}, 0\rangle\), and check for consistency using Green's Theorem. The region \(R\) is the interior of a circle with radius 1. **Answer:** Both the line integral \(\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s}\) and the double integral\(\int\int_{R}(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\,\mathrm{d}A\) evaluate to 0. As these integrals have the same value, this exercise is consistent with Green's Theorem.

Step by step solution

01

Find the two-dimensional divergence of the vector field

The two-dimensional divergence of a vector field \(\mathbf{F}=\langle P,Q \rangle\) is given by: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial y}$$ For the given vector field \(\mathbf{F}=\langle x^{2}+y^{2}, 0\rangle\), we have \(P=x^{2}+y^{2}\) and \(Q=0\). Now we will find their partial derivatives with respect to \(x\) and \(y\) respectively. $$\frac{\partial P}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial (x^{2}+y^{2})}{\partial x} = 2x$$ $$\frac{\partial Q}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial (0)}{\partial y} = 0$$ Now, let's compute the divergence of the vector field: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 2x + 0 = 2x$$
02

Setup Green's Theorem

Green's Theorem (flux form) states that if \(\mathbf{F} = \langle P, Q\rangle\) is a continuously differentiable force field, the circulation around the closed curve \(C\) enclosing region \(R\) is equal to the integral of the two-dimensional divergence on the region \(R\): $$\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s} = \int\int_{R}(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\,\mathrm{d}A$$ In our case, the region \(R\) is the interior of a circle with radius 1, \(R = \{(x, y): x^2 + y^2 \leq 1\}\).
03

Evaluate the line integral \(\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s}\)

Let's parameterize the curve \(C\) in terms of polar coordinates \(x = r\cos\theta\) and \(y = r\sin\theta\), where \(r = 1\) and \(0\leq\theta\leq2\pi\). Then, the parameterized curve \(C\) is given by: $$\bold{r}(\theta) = \langle 1\cos\theta, 1\sin\theta\rangle$$ The tangent vector \(\bold{r}'(\theta)\) is: $$\bold{r}'(\theta) = \langle -1\sin\theta, 1\cos\theta\rangle$$ Next, we find \(\mathbf{F}( \bold{r}(\theta))\) as follows: $$\mathbf{F}( \bold{r}(\theta))=\langle (1\cos\theta)^{2}+(1\sin\theta)^{2}, 0\rangle=\langle 1, 0\rangle$$ Now, let's compute the dot product \(\mathbf{F}( \bold{r}(\theta))\cdot\bold{r}'(\theta)\): $$\mathbf{F}( \bold{r}(\theta))\cdot\bold{r}'(\theta)=\langle 1, 0\rangle\cdot\langle -1\sin\theta, 1\cos\theta\rangle= -1\sin\theta$$ Now, we can evaluate the line integral: $$\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s} = \int_{0}^{2\pi}(-1\sin\theta)\,d\theta = [\cos\theta]_{0}^{2\pi} = (\cos2\pi - \cos0) = 0$$
04

Evaluate the double integral\(\int\int_{R}(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\,\mathrm{d}A\)

Since \(\nabla\cdot\mathbf{F} = 2x\), we can write the double integral in polar coordinates: $$\int\int_{R}(2x)\,\mathrm{d}A = \int\int_{R}(2r\cos\theta)r\,\mathrm{d}r\,\mathrm{d}\theta = 2\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1} r^{2}\cos\theta\,\mathrm{d}r\,\mathrm{d}\theta$$ Now, we can evaluate the double integral by first integrating with respect to \(r\): $$2\int_{0}^{2\pi}\left[\frac{1}{3}r^{3}\cos\theta\right]_{0}^{1}\,\mathrm{d}\theta = \frac{2}{3}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos\theta\,\mathrm{d}\theta$$ Then, integrate with respect to \(\theta\): $$\frac{2}{3}\left[\sin\theta\right]_{0}^{2\pi} = \frac{2}{3}(\sin{2\pi} - \sin{0}) = 0$$
05

Check for consistency

We have found that both integrals are equal: $$\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s} = 0$$ $$\int\int_{R}(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\,\mathrm{d}A = 0$$ Since both integrals have the same value, this exercise is consistent with Green's Theorem.

Key Concepts

These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.

Divergence of a Vector Field
Understanding the divergence of a vector field is crucial for students studying vector calculus. Divergence measures how much a vector field spreads out or diverges from a given point. It's like thinking about how water flows out from a source or how air rushes out of a balloon when you let it go.

To calculate the divergence of a vector field, \(\mathbf{F} = \langle P, Q \rangle\), where \(P\) and \(Q\) are components of the field, you take the partial derivative of \(P\) with respect to \(x\) and add it to the partial derivative of \(Q\) with respect to \(y\). Mathematically, this is written as:
\[abla \cdot \mathbf{F} = \frac{\partial P}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial Q}{\partial y}\]
This value shows how the field behaves locally and whether it acts as a source or a sink of the vector quantity at any point.
Line Integral
The line integral is another key concept in vector calculus and is particularly useful in physics and engineering for evaluating work done by a force field along a path. Specifically, in the context of the problem we've been discussing, this means adding up all the contributions of the vector field along a closed curve \(C\).

For a vector field \(\mathbf{F}\), the line integral along a curve \(C\) parameterized by \(\bold{r}(t)\) is calculated by:
\[\oint_{C} \mathbf{F}\cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{s} = \int \mathbf{F}( \bold{r}(t))\cdot\bold{r}'(t)\, dt\]
Understanding the line integral involves seeing how the vector field aligns with the direction of the curve at every point, giving insight into the flow of the field along the curve.
Double Integral
The double integral expands on the concept of an integral to account for functions over a two-dimensional area. It is the process of taking two successive integrals to calculate the volume under a surface or the accumulated quantity within a region.

Mathematically, for a function \(f(x, y)\) on a region \(R\), the double integral is written as:
\[\int\int_{R} f(x, y)\, \mathrm{d}A\]
Where \(\mathrm{d}A\) typically represents the differential area element \(dx\,dy\), but can also be in other coordinate systems such as polar coordinates. It allows us to aggregate the effect of a scalar field across an area, which is essential in fields like thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and fluid dynamics.
Polar Coordinates
Polar coordinates offer a different perspective than the traditional Cartesian coordinates for describing locations in a plane. Instead of using \(x\) and \(y\) coordinates, polar coordinates represent points using a radius \(r\) and an angle \(\theta\), which can simplify calculations for problems involving symmetry around a point, such as circles or spirals.

Conversion from Cartesian to polar coordinates is done using the relationships \(x = r\cos\theta\) and \(y = r\sin\theta\). When working with integrals, the area element \(\mathrm{d}A\) in polar coordinates is expressed as \(r\,\mathrm{d}r\,\mathrm{d}\theta\), reflecting the sector-shaped 'slices' of the area being considered.
This coordinate system is especially useful when evaluating integrals over circular regions, as it aligns naturally with the problem's symmetry.

Ampère's Law The French physicist André-Marie Ampère \((1775-1836)\) discovered that an electrical current \(I\) in a wire produces a magnetic field \(\mathbf{B}\). A special case of Ampère's Law relates the current to the magnetic field through the equation \(\oint_{C} \mathbf{B} \cdot d \mathbf{r}=\mu I,\) where \(C\) is any closed curve through which the wire passes and \(\mu\) is a physical constant. Assume the current \(I\) is given in terms of the current density \(\mathbf{J}\) as \(I=\iint_{S} \mathbf{J} \cdot \mathbf{n} d S,\) where \(S\) is an oriented surface with \(C\) as a boundary. Use Stokes' Theorem to show that an equivalent form of Ampere's Law is \(\nabla \times \mathbf{B}=\mu \mathbf{J}\).
