Question

The Stoke’s theorem can be used to find which of the following?

(a) Area enclosed by a function in the given region

(b) Volume enclosed by a function in the given region

(c) Linear distance

(d) Curl of the function

This question was posed to me in quiz.

My query is from Stokes Theorem topic in portion Vector Calculus of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Area enclosed by a function in the given region

Explanation: It states that the line integral of a function gives the surface area of the function enclosed by the given region. This is computed using the double integral of the curl of the function.
