Physics I / Stokes' Theorem
Practice question · Match the pairs

Match each integral theorem to its dimensionality.

  • Fundamental theorem of calculus
  • Green's theorem
  • Stokes' theorem
  • Divergence theorem
  • 3D: surface integral ↔ volume integral
  • 1D: f(b)f(b)f(a)f(a) = fdx\int f' dx
  • 2D: line integral ↔ area integral
  • 3D: line integral ↔ surface integral
Hints
  1. Order them by the dimension of the region being integrated over.
  2. Each theorem relates a boundary to the interior it bounds.
Show the answer
  • Fundamental theorem of calculus 1D: f(b)f(b)f(a)f(a) = fdx\int f' dx
  • Green's theorem 2D: line integral ↔ area integral
  • Stokes' theorem 3D: line integral ↔ surface integral
  • Divergence theorem 3D: surface integral ↔ volume integral
Why

Each theorem relates a boundary integral to an interior integral, at increasing dimension.
