Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort each theorem: connects which types of integrals?
Groups: Line ↔ Double integral · Surface ↔ Volume integral
- ∬F = ∭ dV
- Divergence theorem
- Gauss's law in electrostatics
- Area via line integral: ∮(xdy−ydx)
- Green's theorem
Hints
- Count the dimensions each theorem works in.
- One relates a curve to an area; another a surface to a volume.
Show the answer
Line ↔ Double integral: Green's theorem, , Area via line integral: ∮(xdy−ydx)
Surface ↔ Volume integral: Divergence theorem, ∬F = ∭ dV, Gauss's law in electrostatics
Why
Green's theorem is 2D (line ↔ area); Divergence theorem is 3D (surface ↔ volume).
