Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort: is this a line integral or a surface integral?
Groups: Line integral · Surface integral
- Circulation around a loop
- ∬_S F
- Flux through a membrane
- Electric flux through a Gaussian surface
- Work done by a force along a path
Hints
- Count the dimensions of the region being integrated over.
- One parameter means a curve; two mean a surface.
Show the answer
Line integral: , Work done by a force along a path, Circulation around a loop
Surface integral: ∬_S F , Flux through a membrane, Electric flux through a Gaussian surface
Why
Line integrals are over curves (1D); surface integrals are over surfaces (2D).
