Homework Statement
Compute the circulation of the vector a = yi+x2j - zk around the contour L: {x2 +y2 = 4; z = 3}, a) directly and b) via the Stokes Theorem.
Plot the contour and show its orientation.
Homework Equations
Stokes theorem is [itex]\oint[/itex]F.dr = [itex]\int[/itex]∇ X F . n dS
The Attempt at a Solution
For (a) which is solving it directly, i used the left side of the equation [itex]\oint[/itex]F.dr and I obtained 0 as my answer. Having problem with part b. What should my ∇f be? Is it 2x i + 2y j + 0 k?
