Question
Let I be the flux of F = ey , 2xex2 , z2 through the upper hemisphere S of the unit sphere. (a) Let G = ey , 2xex2 , 0 . Find a vector field A such that curl(A) = G. (b) Use Stokes Theorem to show that the flux of G through S is zero. Hint: Calculate the circulation of A around S. (c) Calculate I . Hint: Use (b) to show that I is equal to the flux of 0, 0, z2 through S.
Solution
The first step in solving 17.2 problem number 73 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let I be the flux of F = ey , 2xex2 , z2 through the upper hemisphere S of the unit sphere. (a) Let G = ey , 2xex2 , 0 . Find a vector field A such that curl(A) = G. (b) Use Stokes Theorem to show that the flux of G through S is zero. Hint: Calculate the circulation of A around S. (c) Calculate I . Hint: Use (b) to show that I is equal to the flux of 0, 0, z2 through S.
From the textbook chapter Stokes Theorem you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
