Calculating the circulation of the Field F along the borders of this region

In summary, the conversation discusses calculating the circuitation of a field along the borders of a given region, and the process of finding the intersection between two curves using equations and formulas such as Stokes' theorem or Green's formula. The conversation also touches on simplifying the solution by factoring.

Greetings
The exercice consist of calulating the circuitation of the Field F along a the borders of the region omega

my problem was how they found that y goes from 0 to h ( for 0 it´s clear but the mystery for me is h)

Thank you!

Compute the intersection between the curves ##x^2 + y^2 = h + h^2## and ##x = \sqrt y##.

Also, it is ”Stokes’ theorem” (or in the two-dimensional case, Green’s formula in the plane).

yes indeed we get
y^2+y-(h^2+h)=0
we use descriminant Δ=1-4(h^2+h)
y=[1+(-)sqrt(4(h^2+h))]/2 which is ugly
is there any simplification ?

thank you!

If ##y^2 + y = h^2 + h##, then it should be fairly obvious that ##y=h## is a solution.

To add to Oro's great hint:
Maybe factor :
## y^2-h^2=-(y-h)##?

Related to Calculating the circulation of the Field F along the borders of this region

1. How do you calculate the circulation of a field along the borders of a region?

To calculate the circulation of a field along the borders of a region, you will need to integrate the field along the closed path that makes up the border of the region. This can be done using the line integral formula, where the path is broken up into small segments and the field is evaluated at each segment. The sum of these evaluations will give you the circulation of the field along the border.

2. What is the significance of calculating the circulation of a field along the borders of a region?

The circulation of a field along the borders of a region can give insight into the behavior of the field within the region. It can also help in understanding the flow of a fluid or the motion of a particle within the region. Additionally, it can be used to determine the strength and direction of a magnetic field.

3. Can the circulation of a field along the borders of a region be negative?

Yes, the circulation of a field along the borders of a region can be negative. This would indicate that the field is flowing in the opposite direction of the path being integrated. It is important to pay attention to the direction of the path and the direction of the field when calculating the circulation.

4. Is there a specific unit for the circulation of a field?

The unit for circulation of a field depends on the type of field being calculated. For example, if the field is a velocity field, the unit would be in meters per second. If the field is a magnetic field, the unit would be in Tesla. It is important to check the units of the field being calculated and use appropriate units for the circulation.

5. Are there any real-life applications of calculating the circulation of a field along the borders of a region?

Yes, there are many real-life applications of calculating the circulation of a field along the borders of a region. Some examples include predicting weather patterns, analyzing fluid flow in pipes or channels, and understanding the behavior of particles in magnetic fields. This calculation is also used in engineering and design processes, such as designing efficient airfoils for airplanes.
