291 Stokes’ Theorem for Flux Integral

\[\iint_S (\nabla \times \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{n} \, dA = \oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot \dfrac{d\mathbf{r}}{ds}(s) \, ds\].

Or,

\[\iint_S (\text{curl} \times \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{n} \, dA = \oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot \dfrac{d\mathbf{r}}{ds}(s) \, ds\]

where

  • \(S\) a piecewise smooth oriented surface in space
  • \(C\) a piecewise smooth simple closed curve boundary of \(S\)
  • \(\mathbf{n}\) is the unit normal vector of \(S\).
  • \(\dfrac{d\mathbf{r}}{ds}(s)\) is the unit tangent vector of \(C\).
  • \(s\) is the arc length of \(C\).
  • \(\mathbf{F}(x, y, z)\) is a continuous vector function
